Aye. Valverde knew magic was over and tried his best. Also won a lot. But ... There was negative and defeatist air about him..The streets won’t forget the abuse “ retardo” got even though you would like to @KingLeo10 @Barcaman
Won only two titles in Messis last 5 seasons.
Winner.
Limited to what he could do to change the obvious flaws in squad.
Messi is the god of football but it doesn't mean EV didn't do anything. He built the team around Messi and made sure Messi can play freely.Checkout Valverders masterclass coaching that lead to the 2018 title.
You might spot a couple of pretty decent players on the frontline, obviously capitalizing on the amazing tactics and interplay designed buy the maestro. Clearly comparable with Xavi's squad.
Check out the 2019 too:

Basically if EV hadn't been fired in mid season, Barca would have won Liga 19/20.
14-15: 94 points, champions. runner up 92 points.
15-16: 91 points, champions. runner up 90 points.
16-17: 90 points, runner up. champions 93 points.
17-18: 93 points, champions. runner up 79 points.
18-19: 87 points, champions. runner up 76 points.
19-20: 82 points, runner up. champions 87 points.
what you will notice is that our points are consistent no matter the manager since 2014
but in two Valverde seasons the opposition is none existent. our points drop after 17-18, consistently with the player quality dropping and age increasing. in 2019-2020, Real wins the league with 87 points, that if had managed the previous season would also had won.
A less than 80 point season by Madrid in two consecutive runs is certainly not on EV. they managed above 90 most seasons. that is a monumental drop in league form. in a league that was deteriorating too.The reason why Real had less points during EV time than in previous seasons was because EV let them no chance, they gave up after realizing that they just waste energy to achieve the impossible thing, thats why they focused on cl
