I encourage everyone to continue these #ValverdeOut Tweets until that bottler is gone. And don’t stop it after we win CDR again. This man just doesn’t fit at Barca. He’s a completely anti-Barca manager with all aspects and sooner he’s gone the better it’s for the future of Barça!

Give three points away for getafe to secure its place in ucl, maybe they will perform well more than we done

If Valverde stays, I wont watch the next CL.
But I’ll always support Barca till I die.

Although Barcelona have already won the league, tomorrow’s game is massive, the Catalan giants need to make a statement after being thrashed 4-0 by Liverpool.
