Las Palmas coach Pako Ayestaran spoke to the media after taking over the islanders, shortly before Sunday's clash with FC Barcelona.

Ayestaran says he accepts this "challenge" because he sees it "as an opportunity", despite just taking two training sessions before the game.

 

Ayestaran said Las Palmas are a "special club" and he will try to bring "combative play" to a team which has "some techncial and tactical characteristics which lend themselves to a passing game".
