Yaya Toure has taken the unexpected step of offering to help Barcelona out of their deep crisis.
Toure spent three years at the Nou Camp, winning two LaLiga titles and the 2009 Champions League before heading to Manchester City.
Like many former Barca players, he is despairing at the great club's current predicament.
'It may be a difficult time for the club but my belief for Barcelona is strong,' Toure tweeted on Saturday, hours before Ronald Koeman's side were beaten 2-0 at LaLiga champions Atletico Madrid.
