Ronald Koeman says Barcelona aren’t ‘big favorites’ for Champions League

Former Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman says that he doesn’t think the Catalans are “big favorites” to win the Champions League despite a 4-0 win over Dortmund on Wednesday.

The victory has Hansi Flick’s side in a great position to make it to the semi-finals, with many claiming they are now the best team left in the competition.

However, Koeman sees things a little differently and thinks PSG and Arsenal also need to be considered as genuine contenders.

“Barça are not the big favorites for the Champions League. There are other teams that are playing at the same level: PSG, Arsenal, who I saw at the level of winning the Champions League.
