E. Valverde praised A. Griezmann: he reacted perfectly.

"Barcelona" even without important players managed to achieve a convincing victory in the "La Liga" championship.

Ernesto Valverde's team defeated "Betis" club 5:2 at home, with forward Antoine Griezmann leading the hosts by scoring two goals and providing one assist.

"I have to admit that this day was important for him because of the injuries that struck our team. He reacted perfectly," - E.Valverde rejoiced.

"I told the Frenchman to play in the middle and help his teammates. The player made an impact on them.

We knew that if we could distance attacking players, we would have a better chance of winning.

And scoring goals will also make Griezmann feel more confident."
