Ernesto Valverde praises Barcelona’s defence and attack after Huesca thrashing

Ernesto Valverde praised Barcelona’s defence and attack after watching his team thrash Huesca 8-2 at the Camp Nou on Sunday.

Huesca took a shock lead inside three minutes through Juan Camilo Hernandez. Barcelona hit back to move 3-1 up before Alex Gallar scored again for the Liga newcomers.

The second half was a different story as Barca romped to victory, and I got Valverde’s thoughts at his post-match press conference.

“I’m happy not only with Barça’s offensive but also defensive effort. Huesca only had two chances which they managed to convert.”

“Rakitic deserves all the credit he’s getting.
