Las Palmas want to catch out Barcelona off the back of the international break this Saturday and they will do so with a manager who used to coach Barça; a player Barcelona have shown and interest in signing; and a captain who has made an incredible comeback from serious illness to become one of the players of this season. A cancer diagnosis made the world stop for Kirian Rodriguez last season but on Saturday he will wear the captain's armband away at Barcelona as La Liga's second highest-scoring midfielder.
