Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde reluctantly discussed a new round of poor timekeeping from Ousmane Dembele at his Champions League presser.

Valverde is hopeful that it can be resolved due to the talent that Dembele possesses.

"It is true that a situation has occurred, one that we will resolve in-house," he explained.

"It isn't something new and we'll try to face up to it in the best possible way by always helping the player, who has a lot of talent.

"The questions [the press asked] are ones of an internal nature, but he is a player who gives us a lot on the pitch, in the same way that others do.

"We'll see what happened, but I like that we all want the same thing.

"On Saturday, we won a derby 4-0 and said 'now we can have a calm relaxing Sunday' and then things happen and people are only asking about Dembele.

"Such things have also happened to me, although not many times."
