Koeman frustrated by Barcelona’s penalty misses after Copa del Rey win

Ronald Koeman was left frustrated by his team’s penalty misses against Cornella in the Copa del Rey on Thursday.

The Catalan giants missed two penalties in the 90 minutes. Miralem Pjanic saw an effort saved in the first half and Ousmane Dembele missed in the second.

Barca went on to win the game in extra-time thanks to goals from Ousmane Dembele and Martin Braithwaite, but Koeman was not too happy after the final whistle.

“We have to win the game earlier. We have to be more efficient. I don’t understand how with the players we have we can’t score (penalties), maybe it’s fear, I don’t know.
