Ernesto Valverde Laments Barcelona Being in 'Too Much of a Hurry' in Frustrating Draw at Las Palmas

Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde has been left lamenting his team's haste to get the job done during Thursday night's clash with Las Palmas, with the Catalans ultimately held to another frustrating draw.

"We tried to rush things at times," Valverde admitted after the final whistle (FCBarcelona.com).

Lionel Messi had given Barça a first half lead with a well taken free-kick, but Las Palmas equalised soon after the half-time break when Jonathan Calleri converted a penalty.

Barça have now drawn three of their last five La Liga games, dropping six points in the process.
