Koeman admits Barcelona needed Elche win

Ronald Koeman seemed relieved after seeing his Barcelona team pick up a much-needed victory on Wednesday against Elche.

Two goals from Lionel Messi and a Jordi Alba goal were enough to secure all three points and bounce back from poor results against Cadiz and Paris Saint-Germain.

Koeman spoke about the match after the game and was happy with the way his side improved after a poor first half.

“We needed to win after the last two results. We played really well in the second half. We have to do better than the first half.
