The head coach of "Barcelona" Ernesto Valverde will not engraved in the pages of European football history - "Barcelona" suffered a defeat in the Spanish championship and will not finish the season without failures.
In a non-decisive duel of the "La Liga" championship, "Barcelona" clashed with Valencia's "Levante". "Levante" surprised their opponents - at one point during the match they had an incredible result of 5-1, but the Catalans returned to the game and reduced the deficit to 5-4.
After the match, E. Valverde did not hide his disappointment, but emphasized that "Levante" is currently the most dangerous team in the league attacking.
"I am very upset that we will not finish the season undefeated. But we need to forget about it and look forward," said the strategist.
"It was an attractive game in which our opponents demonstrated excellent attacking play. We were able to react to the situation and eliminate the deficit. We were close to equalizing, which would have been unbelievable.
"The match was decided by counterattacks, which poured in during those unbelievable 10 minutes of the second half. "Levante" is currently the best team in the league in terms of intensity and accuracy in attack. It was not the first such match for them - they played similarly against "Leganes," added E. Valverde.
"Barcelona" will play their last match of the season next weekend against the team of "Real Sociedad".
