On Tuesday evening, football fans watching the match between "Villarreal" and "Barcelona" witnessed a true football spectacle.
Playing at home, "The Yellow Submarine" took the lead 4-2, but at the very end of the match, thanks to the efforts of L.Messi and L.Suarez, the result was equalized (4-4).
After the match, the coach of the Catalan club, Ernesto Valverde, once again emphasized the importance of the team leader, who only appeared in the 61st minute.
"Of course, there is a dependency on L.Messi, as he is the best in the world," the specialist said.
"However, we must know that when the attacker does not play, we have to play in the same style - just like in the first half.
Then we did not feel the absence of L.Messi and everything went according to plan, and we had to win this match.
Nevertheless, "Villarreal" is a good team and they caused us problems. These matches were very useful to us, especially because of the matches that await us in the future. It makes people understand that it is not easy to play in the league, teams are strong and must fight," said E. Valverde.
