Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde: Victory was important for everyone

Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde was happy with victory over Real Betis.

Valverde admits it was an important result after the terror attacks in the city.

"I have finished with good feelings, especially at the team level. Despite having significant losses, I have seen the team do well, being supportive on the field, pressing and attacking everything, and thus we have managed to dominate and have options to score," he said.

"Second half has slowed down, but we are happy for the result. We wanted to give people some joy."

He added: "It was a special day in many ways. These days we have shown a lot of solidarity and we could not be less."
