Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde praised the players for the character shown in the victory over Real Sociedad. The Catalans lost by 0:2, but then scored 4 goalless goals and 9 points in front of second-placed Atletico Madrid. `It was a very tough game, but it helped us with a quick return to 0:2, after the break, the team was extremely mobilized, we began to push high and we came to victory, the most important being that we believed in the reversal, although we played at a staggering stadium for us and against a very strong opponent, we interrupted a long series without winning Annette and I am pleased with both the game mentioned by soccer picks and the fact that we have lost two goals, `Valverde said. `In certain periods of the first half the hosts were better than us and realized two of their positions, which only proves how difficult it is to win here. ` It was difficult to overcome their press, `Barca`s mentor admitted.
