BARCELONA: Ernesto Valverde tried to put the criticism down to high demands and snap reactions but Barcelona's malaise, underlined by a goalless draw at home to Slavia Prague on Tuesday , will be laid at the feet of their coach.
If they fail to win at home to Borussia Dortmund later this month, it could well be that Barca, Dortmund and Inter Milan are all within three points of each other going into the final round, when Valverde's side are away at the San Siro. When Valverde arrived in 2017, he took over a team in crisis, stunned by the departure of Neymar and stung by consecutive defeats to Real Madrid in the Super Cup.
"Barcelona have a history of fantasic collective play and then on top of that Messi made the difference," Arsene Wenger told beinSports on Tuesday night. "I would ask for patience," said Pique."We are not playing at the level we expect. The results are not bad, but they could be better. We have to improve.""Pique asks for patience and we have it," wrote Mundo Deportivo on Wednesday."But that doesn't mean continuing while wearing a blindfold."
