Ernesto Valverde was not disappointed by the team's performance after losing in the Spanish Super Cup, although he admitted that they could have played better in defense.
"Barcelona" lost to Madrid's "Atletico" on Thursday evening and ended their fight for the Super Cup trophy. "Barca" dominated most of the match and even had a one-goal advantage until the 80th minute.
"The goals scored by "Atletico" surprised us," said E. Valverde. "It seemed like we had control of the match."
"Overall, the match was not bad for us, but we were here for one goal - to win the title. We dominated, but we forgot about some details.
The match with VAR replays was quite difficult. The referees explained that we did not score the third goal due to a millimeter offside. It is clear that VAR was not on our side," continued the coach.
When asked about his own future at the club, E. Valverde added: "I understand how football works - when you lose, everyone starts talking about your future. I myself do not focus on things I cannot control."
