Ernesto Valverde insisted he was not thinking about resigning in the wake of Barcelona’s defeat to Levante on Saturday.
The Barcelona boss was asked if he might consider stepping down in the post-match press conference but gave a resounding “No” to that particular question.
Yet Valverde will come under pressure after another demoralising away defeat for the Spanish champions, their third in just 11 league games this season.
He spoke after the match about how his team collapsed in the second half, conceding three goals in the space of seven minutes to lose a game they had taken the lead in.
