Ernesto Valverde insists he has the full support of the Barcelona board, even though the aftermath of the shock defeat to Liverpool has left him feeling like Steve McQueen in The Great Escape.
The Catalans suffered a humiliating 4-0 loss at Anfield on Tuesday, which sent them crashing out of the Champions League semi-finals 4-3 on aggregate.
Their 3-0 lead from the first leg had put them in a commanding position, but, as they did in the quarter-final with Roma last season, Barca collapsed in the return fixture to see their treble challenge come to an end.
