VALVERDE ABOUT MESSI AND GLUCOSE TABLET: "IF TOOK AND SCORED GOAL ... THAT TAKE ANOTHER!"

Barcelona coach jokes about situation

Barcelona beat Olympiacos 3-1 in Group 3 of the Champions League and Valverde did not escape the theme that also marked the meeting and joked when asked if he knew that Messi had taken a glucose tablet in the 10th minute.

"I have no idea if he took and scored ... take another!" Said the coach, not condemning Piqué because of the expulsion: "He put his hand to the ball instinctively!"

Also André Gomes - entered the field in the 80 '- was the subject of the press conference with the coach of the Catalans to underline the performance of the Portuguese international. "André Gomes can play in various positions, right-back as he played in the Cup final, he has ability, he can help us in the strategy, we have to want our players," he concluded.
