"When you're the team that goes behind and then draws it feels better," Valverde said afterwards. "We bounced back well got a point which feels good given the intense week we've had."
The gaffer was particularly happy with how Athletic got their goals, saying attacking set-pieces was a part of the game where "we are improving".
He added: "We didn't give up and we fought back at a difficult ground and against a team that's tough to beat. Regardless of the result, we have the team we have.
"It's a guarantee that whoever plays will give their all."
