Why Valverde is responsible for Barcelona's embarrassing Champions League elimination

Barcelona are out the Champions League after being deservedly eliminated by Roma after losing 3-0 in the Stadio Olimpico. The Catalans' inability to take advantage of their 4-1 victory in the first leg is utterly unacceptable, especially given the huge amount of talent, experience in their squad and how solid the team had proven to be so far this season.

As we discussed in the latest The Barcelona Podcast, Valverde's refusal to rotate key players despite having an 11 point gap at the top of La Liga was a recipe for disaster. The manager's inability to prevent key players from burning out has been a concern for a number of weeks but, in Roma, the evidence could not have been any clearer. Unfortunately, the embarrassing way in which Barca crashed out of the Champions League proved our worse fears right far earlier than anticipated.

The agreement between FC Barcelona and Brazilian club Gremio de Porto Alegre, for the purchase option and transfer cost to acquire midfielder Arthur Henrique Ramos de Oliveira Melo -- simply known as "Arthur" to millions of football fans around the world -- has been in place reportedly as far back as early March.

However, Barça will have to wait until July of 2018 in order to exercise the option, and will have to pay upwards of €39 million to execute the move.

The talented midfielder has "stayed home" in his native country of Brazil for most of his career, winning a Brazilian Cup and the Copa Libertadores with Gremio. In the past, he represented Brazil in U17 and U20 events, and though he's been called up to the nation's "full squad" on multiple occasions, he has yet to officially play alongside superstars like Paulino and Coutinho.

Arthur will also lose the chance to play with another talented -- if not aging -- superstar in Andres Iniesta. T…
