Ernesto Valverde believes that his players dominated the game with Atletico, but this was not enough to win.

Barcelona head coach Ernesto Valverde commented on a draw in the match against Atletico (1: 1) in the 13th round of the Spanish Examples.

"Draw - this is a normal result. They defended very deeply, we dominated by controlling the ball. However, Atletico defended himself so well that it was difficult to find space in the attack ".

"However, we controlled the game fairly well. We had no problems, despite the fact that they scored after a corner. We did not have the last spark, and ultimately we had to be content with a draw ".

"Our idea was to dominate the football field and constantly play near their penalty area. However, Atletico players are experts on the game of defense and counterattack ".

"Dembele? He's a great player.. He can do a lot on the field. Our wingers must take risks, play with enthusiasm and constantly be ready to defend.

Dembele confidently plays with both feet and works in defense. They talk too much about him now, but I'm sure he can help us.. His playing time depends on what he shows in training. ".

"It is true that we removed him from playing Betis in the last round. We must help him succeed.. He scored a goal in a match with Atletico.. We expect more from him because he is a very talented player, "Valverde said after the match.
