Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde praises the display of Arthur in the club's 4-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League.

Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde has revealed that he was delighted with Arthur's performance in the 4-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League.

Lionel Messi stole the show at Wembley Stadium, with the Argentine netting twice as the Catalan giants held off a fightback from the Premier League side.

However, Valverde was quick to praise Arthur after the game with the summer arrival having impressed in the centre of the park.

Valvarde told beIN SPORTS: "Man, that's what it's about. Looking for a gap, he has some qualities that come in handy. He completes many passes, it's hard to take the ball off him. He has been a starter in an important game.

"We played a good game and we had opportunities to extend the lead before and not have to suffer so much, but this is the Champions League."

Barcelona and Inter Milan sit six points clear at the top of Group B.
