Ernesto Valverde: "Busquets was upset. He had a fever before the game and that's why he hasn't participated.""Real Madrid played a good game. We would have liked to win.""We didn't know how to overcome their pressure. They locked us up, they were in scoring positions. We didn't have continuity...
Ivan Rakitić: "Happy and proud of our performance""I think the draw is fair. We lacked the final pass to be able to score goals.""It has been a difficult game. We knew that they are very strong."
Real Madrid can’t beat even such a Barca. There is no sense in writing about Valverde. Roberto at Valverde is his bet, he is the best player and he puts it everywhere. Vidal, Rakitić, a dead attack, there is no replacement for him in his plans.
[SER] | About Arthur Melo
The player's environment denies that he went snowboarding recently and that his injury has nothing to do with it as his girlfriend is Andorran and that's why he often goes to Andorra.
Valverde: "If I say we deserved a penalty and La Real didn't, I'm quite sure their coach would say the opposite.""The game has been very intense, hard, difficult... It was hard for us to overcome their pressure and they hurt us when they had the ball. Little by little, we got better."
