Ernesto Valverde had the opportunity this season to win the treble with "Barcelona" after a four-year break, but all Catalan hopes were shattered when they visited the fortress of "Anfield".
"Barcelona" on Tuesday evening lost a three-goal lead to "Liverpool" and surrendered their place in the UEFA Champions League final to their opponents.
Ernesto Valverde, after another bitterly ended Champions League night, stated that he takes responsibility and does not currently think about his future.
"Will this somehow affect my future? I really don't know. I didn't have enough time to think about such things, but one thing is clear, that a coach must take responsibility after such failures," said E. Valverde.
"Liverpool" was better than us this evening and we have to accept that. The result is 4:0 and there can be no excuses here. After the second goal, we lost our way, and immediately after that came the third. They just played fantastically and we have to congratulate them on reaching the final," added the strategist.
"Barcelona" has experienced such a match before - last year the Catalans also squandered a three-goal lead when they lost to "Roma" with a score of 0:3 in the return match.
"The worst thing is that this scenario is happening to us not for the first time," recalled the Spaniard about the match in Rome. "It hurts not only us, but also the fans. We wanted to do everything to ensure that this does not happen again."
