Brazil legend, Ronaldo has revealed his disgust as to how anytime Barcelona win, it is all Lionel Messi but when it is a loss, Messi and absolved of all blame and the manager gets targeted.
Ernesto Valverde was blasted after their incredible loss to Liverpool, a game where Coutinho also got criticized.
The ex Real Madrid star feels other players who play alongside Messi need to be respected.
His words, “Barcelona have a great team, and they have the best player in the world in Messi,”
“The other day I heard that when they lose, it’s because of Valverde, Coutinho… but not Messi.
“And when they win, Barcelona win because of Messi. It’s a tremendous lack of respect to all the players and the coaching staff.”
On the Liverpool match, he shared, “When a team are a lot more motivated, with an intensity that is noticeably greater than that of their opponents, [the comeback] can happen.
“Liverpool’s intensity was not a surprise for Barcelona, but they lacked a bit of luck.
“The first leg was a great match by Barcelona, with an exceptional performance by Messi, but in the return fixture, Liverpool overwhelmed them with intensity, desire and a clinical nature.”
