Real Valladolid forward Jeffren Suarez has insisted that Barcelona have "weak points" ahead of the league meeting between his current side and former team at the weekend.

The 26-year-old represented Barcelona between 2004 and 2011, before leaving for Sporting Lisbon in 2014. His spell in Portugal ended in January when he made the move to Valladolid.

"They're one of the best teams in the world, they're a great team, but they have their weak points and they can't maintain their level all the time," he told reporters.

Jeffren will not feature against Barca, however, after picking up a thigh injury on his debut against Elche at the start of last month.
