Koeman talks touchline ban, Samuel Umtiti and Barcelona title hopes ahead of Valencia

Ronald Koeman spoke to reporters on Saturday to discuss Barcelona’s trip to Mestalla to face Valencia in La Liga.

The Barcelona boss spoke about Sunday’s match, the defeat to Granada, his touchline ban and his decision to play Samuel Umtiti on Thursday.

Koeman on Valencia

For now when we play with three central defenders, our opponents create less danger. It can’t be that we concede two goals against Granada, this is something we talked about.
