Ernesto Valverde praised Jordi Alba and Lionel Messi for their part in Barcelona’s 2-0 win over Celta Vigo on Saturday.
The two players combined beautifully for both goals at the Camp Nou, and Valverde spoke about their relationship after the match.
“Alba and Messi understand each other perfectly and it keeps on working,” he said.
”We broke their defensive line well in the first half. They wanted to reduce the space inside, but the room was behind their defence and that’s where the first goal came from.
