Ernesto Valverde talks Pique, fatigue, Arthur and Atletico Madrid ahead of Girona clash

Ernesto Valverde met the press again today for his pre-match press conference and seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

The Barcelona boss was pleased with his side’s display against Chelsea, talked a little bit about resting players but didn’t give too much away about tomorrow’s team.

Here are the best bits...

Valverde on Gerard Pique

He didn’t train yesterday, but it was a precaution. There are nine points to play for this week so it’s an important week for the league. There are 14 games left to play but three this week so that’s nine points that will say a lot.
