Ernesto Valverde Insists He Will Continue at Barcelona Following Painful Defeat to Liverpool

Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde has said that he will not give up, following the Champions League semi-final exit to Liverpool.

The Blaugrana were dramatically knocked out by the English side on Tuesday night, as they gave up a 3-0 first leg lead to lose 4-0 at Anfield. It was a devastating defeat for the Catalans, who were also on the end of an implausible comeback in the same competition against Roma last year.

While the players were slammed for their performances, Valverde came under the most criticism. Despite calls for him to resign and leave the club, he insisted that he is eager to carry on.
