Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman has offered his thoughts on Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Athletic and admitted teams have less fear of the Catalan giants now Lionel Messi is not around.
The visitors left San Mames with a 1-1 draw, after Memphis Depay struck a late equalizer, but were second best for much of the match against Marcelino’s men.
Koeman said he didn’t want to talk about Messi but then ended up talking about his former captain anyway.
“I don’t like to always talk about the same thing, but we’re talking about the best in the world.
