Barcelona’s run of poor form continued following a surprise 1-1 draw at home to Athletic Bilbao on Saturday.
Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets started on the bench as Barcelona stretched their winless run to three La Liga matches
Messi’s arrival changed the game in Barcelona‘s favour but Ernesto Valverde will rue more points dropped in La Liga as he switches attention to the midweek clash with Tottenham in the Champions League.
I have to judge the games we have coming up and we have four games in the space of 10 days, I have to think about what might happen and I thought Leo and Busquets had to rest, knowing that we have a very tough game on Wednesday and we have a large squad,” Valverde told a news conference.
Oscar De Marcos’ goal just before the break looked to have made it back-to-back defeats for Barcelona following their midweek loss to Leganes but Munir El Haddadi equalised seven minutes from time.
