Ronald Koeman said on Saturday it is not possible for him to be under more pressure as Barcelona prepare to face Real Madrid in the first Clasico of the season. Koeman appeared to be on the brink of losing his job earlier this month after Barca had won only once in six matches.
But the club’s president Joan Laporta moved to end the speculation by insisting Koeman “deserved the benefit of the doubt” and would stay on as coach. “I don’t think it’s possible to be under more pressure,” said Koeman at the eve of match press conference.
