Ronald Koeman offers his verdict on Barcelona’s defeat to Atletico

Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman offered his thoughts on his team’s 1-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid on Saturday.

The Dutch coach saw his team beaten for the third time in eight La Liga matches and slip nine points behind Diego Simeone’s side in the table.

It was a tough night for Barca, who also lost Gerard Pique and Sergi Roberto to injury, and Koeman says his team must improve in all aspects.

“Like any coach, I am responsible. We know we have to improve results and grow in confidence. We are working hard, we have to improve things in defence and attack,” he said.
