Barcelona coach Valverde on Liverpool collapse: We paid for moment of weakness

Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde has revisited their Champions League semifinal collapse defeat to Liverpool.

Valverde has looked back to Barcelona‘s painful defeat by Liverpool last season in the Champions League.

“Until Liverpool we were having an incredible Champions League,” he told the club website. “At Anfield, we had chances but they scored early on and psychologically we started worrying that what happened in Rome might happen again.

“There was a moment of weakness and we paid for it. It was one of the toughest moments of the year.

“We must admit that the hit we took in Liverpool meant our morale was down going into the cup final. If we’d won against Liverpool, we’d have won the cup final too.”
