E. Valverde: "Everything is fine for Lionel"

During Saturday's "El Clasico" match, as usual, there was a lot of passion, and the "Barcelona" leader Lionel Messi received a blow from "Real" defender Sergio Ramos.

The Argentine fell to the ground and suffered pain for a while, gritting his teeth.

Nevertheless, L. Messi's injury was not very serious, and after the match, the visiting coach Ernesto Valverde reassured the fans.

"Everything is fine with Lionel. He played a great game, putting a lot of effort into it. The forward is unique because every time he receives the ball, something incredible happens," E. Valverde said.

"In front of us, the whole world is still there - 'Real' can win many matches in a row, and let's not forget about 'Atletico' as well. We respect our opponents, just as they respect us, so now it would be absurd to think that everything is over in the league," the coach commented on the ten-point advantage over the closest rivals in the Spanish championship.
