Very happy for Pique's goal to upset those stupid Asspanyol players and fans. But game should've never been played in those conditions.

the best thing about the match is that we don't have to play them again any time soon

Valverde:

“It was difficult because as the game progressed you could play less and less,” Valverde said in his press conference after the game."

“We had to adapt to the circumstances. In the second half, with the rain, the ball was holding up and the pitch was dangerous. Keeping in mind our style, it was tough to adapt."

“It’s an important point. It’s a derby and you don’t want to lose. We fought well and came back to get the draw, which we give a lot of value to.”

Agree with you all here regarding the rain and Espanyol thuggery. We fans may want to put this match behind us but this game is significant for the genius Ernesto Valverde who’s broken the record books. Well deserved!

I thought it was a pretty ludicrous idea to put Messi on that kind of a pitch though. Was 3 points really worth risking the GOAT for? Especially when tensions were already high, and Asspanyol thugs were flying into challenges, boosted by the fact that they can use the rain and slippery pitch as excuses for their DragonBall Z challenges.
