Ernesto Valverde will return to Barcelona on Sunday with his Athletic side and says he wants to win but is not out for revenge against the Catalans.
The former coach was sacked in January 2020 after winning two league titles and the Copa del Rey and with Barca top of the table.
Valverde returned Athletic in the summer and is now set for his first match back at Barcelona since his departure.
“I’m in the mood to win, but not for revenge, but to win the three points, it’s the first rival we have in front of us and it’s difficult,” he said.
