Ernesto Valverde’s team won the game with 2-1, but the way Barca performed led to a huge criticism by the press and the fans. There are more and more speculations now that this is going to be Ernesto Valverde’s last season at the Camp Nou. It’s rumoured that the club legend Ronald Koeman will replace him at helm.
