Barcelona coach Valverde happy with attacking trio for victory over Eibar

Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde was happy with victory over Eibar.

Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Antoine Griezmann each scored a goal at Ipurua during the 3-0 win.

After a few difficult matches, it looks like the three frontmen are finally starting to understand each other on the pitch.

"It's a question of time and of playing matches," Valverde said about his front three.

"In the end, great players always find each other [on the pitch] and know where their teammates will be and know where the pass will go.

"They've participated and worked very hard.

"This is the reward.

"They scored a goal each, they understood each other well.

"The new players are finding their place and trying to understand each other.

"It's a question of time before they understand each other better."
