Valverde: Liverpool spoiled Barcelona's extraordinary season

World football

Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde said the season was exceptional 15 days ago, just before falling into the historic Remontada to Liverpool 4-0 and out of the Champions League semi-final.

"It was a very good season 15 days ago. I would have said it was exceptional but we got a bit of a mess after we got out of the champions but we won the league and the Super Cup and we can win Cuba," Valverde said during his Ibar game.

"We want to reach the final in the best form so the players who play the final must participate," he said.

"I see the dressing room getting better. The early days after elimination are always tough, especially for the group that does not lose much but the team is recovering and Liu is like his teammates."

And the possibility of the inclusion of French Antoine Grizman said: "I do not know may come Grazman and may not come we will see."

It is worth mentioning that Barcelona won the Spanish league title this season, and aims to harvest the bilateral through the cup match.
