Ronald Koeman refuses to give in to the general euphoria. Despite Bar\u00e7a's new overwhelming victory against Dortmund (4-0) in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League, the Dutchman said that he did not see his former club as the big favorite for the final victory. According to him, PSG and Arsenal also have arms to triumph this season.<\/p>\n

\u00abIn my eyes, Barcelona is not the big favorite for the Champions League<\/em>he said at the microphone of Football International.<\/em> There are other teams. For example, I see Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal capable of winning competition (\u2026) The competition is formidable. I appreciated PSG, which also works very hard without balloon (\u2026) Barcelona is at this level, but we must not forget that Dortmund is no longer a European power currently. They are eighth in the Bundesliga and were created five opportunities against Barcelona. We must not precipitate things. \u201d<\/em> Koeman also finds the comments on Bar\u00e7a sometimes exaggerated, taking the example of the Dutch selection: \u201cIt's as with the Dutch selection. After the European championship, it felt like we were playing bad football and that we couldn't do anything anymore. And now, after the big games against Spain, we can suddenly win the World Cup. I think the truth is in the middle. \u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
