Ernesto Valverde Admits 'Whatever Will Be, Will Be' as Barcelona Inch Closer to La Liga Triumph

Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde described his side's 2-0 win over Alaves as one with 'incredible value' in their pursuit of winning La Liga.

Carles Alena opened the scoring for the visitors nine minutes into the second-half in what was an impressive showing from the academy graduate, before a Luis Suarez penalty six minutes later sealed the win.

Victory at the Mendizorroza means that Barca are just one win away from winning their fifth La Liga title in seven seasons, with Valverde delighted with the position his side are in at this stage of the campaign.
