The fans were shocked by this defeat and they were at a loss of words with the loss. Even Ronald Koeman was quite unsure of his place in Barcelona. “I feel supported by my players and their attitude. I don’t know about the rest. I don’t know about the club,” he said in the post-match presser. For now, it is very likely that the team could sack Koeman in the upcoming days.
