Valverde admits talk of Barcelona sacking 'inevitable' after Supercopa loss

Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde says he isn’t feeling the pressure of mounting speculation about his future at the club.

He saw his side beaten 3-2 by Atletico Madrid on Thursday night, with Diego Simeone’s side going on to face Real Madrid in the Spanish Supercopa final.

Discontent among the club’s fan base has been growing for months, and there is now renewed talk that more bad results could see Valverde removed from his position.
