Ronald Koeman in the preview of Barcelona vs. Real Madrid: “There is no clear favorite”

At FC Barcelona they know that they do not have a great team in terms of figures as in other years, but they will seek a victory at home against Real Madrid. The two recent triumphs in the Champions League, against Dinamo Kiev, and in LaLiga against Valencia, calmed down the Barça team.

In a press conference prior to Sunday’s game, Dutch FC Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman assured that he was calm, despite the clear favoritism for Real Madrid in the first classic of the season.

“It is an important game. We can show that we are on the right track, and the result is also important. We must play without fear and be willing from the start of the game. I don’t know if people have mistrust, but we don’t ”.

“There is no clear favorite. We play at home, we have people on our side. I don’t have this fear. The two teams play a lot at each other. The final result will not be decisive “added the DT who already faced Real Madrid for LaLiga, both games were defeats.

Forward Ansu Fati, who a few days ago renewed his contract until the 2027 season, is one of the great offensive hopes after showing a good understanding with Memphis Depay in attack.

Real Madrid come into the game after beating Shaktar Donetsk 5-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday, with a double from Vinicius and a goal from Karim Benzema, who hope to continue their deadly partnership at the Camp Nou.
