ESPN has revealed the story inside the changes in the Camp Nou dugout.
According to the media, there was a transition of power when Setien bumped into Valverde on Tuesday as his predecessor was collecting his things.
They met twice; the first encounter was reportedly "intense," but as Valverde left, they had a second conversation, lasting more than 15 minutes. By the end, they swapped numbers and Valverde told him to call "if he needed any help."

We must not forget that in the 2nd leg match against Liverpool, even Messi missed a chance, which in other cases, he could have scored easily. It's good that he is gone, but he deserves our respect. And remember, even Messi was emotional is wishing Valverde after he left!

True bro. He left like a real example to other Barca members. No fuss no dirty talks. He may have failed in coaching but he taught character.
