Historically, Barcelona was launched in the Champions League. Two 0: 3-bankruptcy, first against FC Bayern, then against Benfica. Was it already?

Koeman knows what the hour has beaten. Tomorrow we fight for the future of the Champions League, said the Dutch on Tuesday. Why the Catalans have to bend around the secondary finals instead of being part of the favorite circle, he once again formulated: the big ones had now greatly improved, barça made a step back. There is a change, said the 58-year-old. There are teams today who have a balance in the squad, a bank of 23 national players who have a much better economic situation. All this is influencing.

Especially from a financial point of view, however, a progress is of extreme importance for Barcelona. But before the key game is after the key game - Barcelona receives on Sunday Real Madrid to Clasico. It is now clear that Pedri, Ronald Araujo and Ousmane Dembelé will not be available at any of the two.

Aguero praises the new 10

So again much of Ansu Fati is abandoned, which is immediately prior to a contract renewal, as Koeman confirmed. The number 10 is very good for him, said Sergio Aguero, one of the other, finally returned hope - and that is quite worth noting. The old number 10, Lionel Messi, is finally a good buddy of the attacker. That he is disappointed by Messis away, he does not make a secret. I ve come up with the expectation to play with Leo and put together a good team what the club has tried, explains Aguero recently in the interview with El Pais .

As a transverse shooter, the 33-year-old is unknown, but rather as a sympathy wearer. At Camp Nou, the fans had demanded him before his intercession at 3: 1 against Valencia with loud kun, kun, kun calls. With such a reception of the fans, I did not expect. I am very grateful, Aguero said, who will certainly bring more peace into the hectic environment with his personality.

How much does Koeman Fati say?

In addition to the place Aguero is in any case a reinforcement, in the place despite its 33 years certainly too. However, the interaction with Memphis Depay and Fati will first have to stop. Aguero celebrated its debut, scorer Fati (two goals in three league games) in the 87th minute was already replaced in the 59th minute. He has a special talent we need to use, says Aguero. He s young, you have to help him to continue to grow. This, so the Argentine further, is also the task of the routine, as he is one.

Against Kiev, the two will probably stand together for the first time in the square. Or not? Koeman does not make a secret that he wants to carefully handle the long-injured Fati. It s impossible for him to complete three complete games in seven days, said the coach.
