Valverde ignores Real Madrid's criticism of referees

Ernesto Valverde is focused on the Champions League. Asked about Real Madrid blasting referees, he said: "We are focused on winning our games, the rest we don't care about. We want to win tomorrow, and win as many league games as we can," he said. 

Valverde spoke about other topics too, ahead of Tuesday's Champions League clash with Juventus.

DYBALA: He’s an important player in his team, in Europe, in the world. we know that. But so are Higuain, Pjainic, Barzagli. I fear Juve for what they have done, how they play, their consistency, that’s what worries me about the team.

SERGI ROBERTO: “We think Sergi Roberto will be available. He trained well yesterday. We hope he can enter on the list, we’ll see today.”

JUVE WORSE THIS YEAR: I see them doing well. I think they’re strong. They are ready. This is normal, the people are comparing. I’ve seen similar comments in all countries.

DEMBELE: We will see (if he starts) tomorrow at 8.45. He’s a player like the others, he’s training well, integrating more and more. The important thing is to win.

MESSI: We know that if Messi is confident we have an important power. From this point of view it’s important that for this type of game he has confidence.
