Valverde to Pique: Where are you? F***, again?

Barcelona's 4-3 defeat to Real Betis will live long in the memory of the onlooking neutrals, however Ernesto Valverde was left frustrated by Gerard Pique's wanton attempts to find an equaliser in the closing stages of the encounter.

With the Seville club leading 4-2 and Ivan Rakitic having been shown a red card, which came from Pique being further up the pitch than he should have been, the former Athletic Club coach was desperate to avoid conceding any more.

As the former Manchester United defender remained in an attacking position, Valverde desperately tried to get the message across from the side-line that he needed to retreat.

"Gerard, where are you? F***, again?" he exclaimed.

"Let's not concede another Gerard!"
