Valverde Iniesta teaches you something in every match

Ernesto Valverde's pursuit of an undefeated LaLiga season has continued with Barcelona recording a 5-1 win against Villarreal on Wednesday, and the Spanish coach has remarked that Andres Iniesta teaches him something in every single match.The veteran midfielder will depart the Camp Nou at the end of the season with the realisation of just what the club is going to lose not yet fully hitting home."Iniesta teaches you something in every match," he explained in his post-match interview."There's nothing more to say."He's always on point, just like [Lionel] Messi is, and for the moment we're enjoying having him."Jasper Cillessen was handed a rare start on Wednesday, with the Dutchman having usually been kept for cup matches, however the former Athletic Club coach believed a reward was necessary for his work."My idea is that we'll end the season with Marc [Andre ter Stegen]," Valverde admitted."I wanted Jasper to play a league match, because he's given us a lot this season. It was a gift for him, it shows the recognition he's earned, we believe he's a great goalkeeper."Following his dismissal in the Clasico, Sergi Roberto has been informed that his season is over with the punishment handed down to the Spaniard being a four-match ban. Los Cules have been left furious by the decision, with Valverde puzzled as to just why such a severe measure has been handed out."We were expecting a punishment," he confirmed."It was an action in which Marcelo collides with Sergi and can't play the ball, he then turns around."I think it's an excessive punishment and I have no doubt that the club will appeal."
