The Spaniards lost 4-0 at Anfield Road and are out of the Champions League.
Liverpool received FC Barcelona on Tuesday after a week ago lost 3-0 in Spain. In an amazing turnaround of the tie, the ‘reds’ beat the Catalans by 4-0 and continue to the final of the champions league.
At the end of the meeting, Barcelona coach assumed responsibility for the elimination of his team from the competition and did not want to talk about the future.
“We are still at the stage where we want to explain everything that happened, Liverpool played very high and it was very aggressive, they scored, but I think we knew how to react and we settled the game,” Valverde began.
However, the coach admitted that “the second goal of Liverpool hurt us and the third came soon after. Liverpool did well, we did not know how to turn the chances we created into a goal.”
“The result is very heavy, but we can not make excuses, Liverpool were better and we have to accept that.” “I do not know what happened when I saw the ball was already inside the goal,” he admitted.
As for the future, Valverde did not want to stretch. “We did not have time to think about it, but the coach should always take responsibility,” he said.
