Barcelona Manager Ernesto Valverde Admits His Team Allowed PSV Eindhoven Too Many Chances

Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde insists that his side conceded too many opportunities to PSV Eindhoven in their 2-1 UEFA Champions League victory over the Dutch outfit at the Philips Stadion.

The Blaugrana, who had already clinched qualification for the knockout stages, secured top spot with the victory against the Eredivisie side. But they didn't have it all their own way, with Eindhoven striking the woodwork three times in the first-half.

Second-half strikes from Lionel Messi and Gerard Piqué ensured the Catalans would take back all three points to the Camp Nou, despite Luuk de Jong's late consolation for the hosts.
