"We have responded well to Messi's absence, and many are curious about how we did it without him, which is in our minds, but we did it well"

FC Barcelona have proved the match with Inter Milan on Wednesday night, that is not entirely dependent on Lionel Messi. Barcelona won 2-0 over Inter Milan. Ernesto Valverde thought his team had prepared well even without Messi. The Italian club was defeated by goals from Rafinha and Jordi Alba.

"We have responded well to Messi's absence, and many are curious about how we did it without him, which is in our minds, but we did it well," Valverde was quoted by Spanish media.
"We have a style of play, but Messi gives some amazing playing styles. He is not there, so we have to replace him. We have done well but we hope he returns soon because we miss him," Valverde hopes.

Valverde realizes that Messi will perform less optimally if Barcelona play it during the match with Real Madrid on Sunday.

"Even though they are in crisis, they will want to show their quality."
