Valverde praises Messi-Griezmann partnership

CAIRO – 28 November 2019: Barcelona produced one of their best performances this season on Wednesday night at Camp No where they secured their spot at the knockout stages.

Barcelona defeated German giants, Borussia Dortmund, 3-1 thanks to the amazing display of Barcelona’s trio, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and the French newcomer, Antoine Griezmann.

“Messi is an extraordinary passer, he knows when to time the ball and with Griezmann they can understand well because he makes very good runs and they complement each other.” Barcelona manager, Ernesto Valverde, said after the game.

Barcelona reached the round of 16 round after gaining 11 points from three victories and two draws and they will be clear-minded when they play the last group stage game against Inter Milan in Italy.
