5 ways Ernesto Valverde can make Barcelona's season perfect 

Sevilla v Athletic Bilbao - UEFA Europa League Quarter Final: Second Leg
Ernesto Valverde's tactics have not been completely flawless

#1 Stop ignoring Denis Suarez

Barcelona v Eibar - La Liga
Denis Suarez has been repeatedly ignored by Valverde this season

The 23-year-old possesses every attribute to gleam into a team like Barcelona, but the Spanish midfielder hasn't been given enough chances to prove his worth ever since he joined Barcelona. Denis Suarez never made into the good books of Luis Enrique and it seems like Valverde hasn't recognized his talent either.

Denis Suarez has managed to start in only 2 Liga games this season, and completely changed the course of the match every time he came off the bench.

In Barcelona's jammed midfield, the chances of Denis Suarez to appear in the starting eleven were always low, but the fact that he has played only 262 minutes reflects Valverde's lack of confidence in the youngster.

The Barça boss hasn't discarded him like Arda Turan yet, but he can at least use the 23-year-old to replace Iniesta after 60 minutes into the game.

When Denis Suarez was at Villarreal, the midfielder exhibited his prowess on the wings where he was momentous for the Yellow Submarines.

His impressive first touch and the ability to dribble around players in compact areas result in a dazzling connection between him and Lionel Messi. We have seen the midfielder linking up beautifully well with the little Argentine on numerous occasions, and the 23-year-old will certainly help generate that spark in Barça's attack, if he is given a chance.
