Stinging from their humiliating 4-0 loss to Liverpool in the Champions League semi-final second leg, Barca were bidding to win the Cup for the fifth year in a row but defeat by Valencia"I feel good , I know that to lose at this club is tough for the coach because there is always that responsibility, and sometimes you make mistakes, but you have to face them and here I am," Valverde told reporters.
Barcelona had been hoping to add to their 2009 and 2015 trebles and after throwing away a 3-0 first-leg lead against Liverpool, the Cup final offered the chance to seal a ninth domestic double. Kevin Gameiro and Rodrigo Moreno's goals were enough for Valencia to celebrate their centenary year with a first major trophy since 2008, with Lionel Messi's late strike proving to be a mere consolation for Barca."Valverde has a contract, he's the coach. This defeat is not the manager's fault," Bartomeu said.
