Barcelona coach Valverde admits job on line after Atletico Madrid defeat

Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde recognises his job is on the line after their Supercopa de Espana defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Barca were leading 2-1 on Thursday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, before losing 3-2 thanks to Angel Correa's later winner.

Valverde was asked about his position after the game: "Coaches always move with the idea of working. We know what football is like and that there is always instability when you lose.

"We will talk about this, it is inevitable. But I do my thing, which is coaching."

He added: "It has been a match in which we have dominated it. It seemed we had it in hand.

"It has been a complete match except in specific moments."
