Team news: this is the Barcelona XI

Koeman not worried about Barcelona future, hopeful of turnaround

Speaking ahead of the home game against Granada, Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman said he is not worried about his future despite criticism in the wake of last week's drubbing by Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

"The only thing is to think about the game, think about the team," the 58-year-old coach said. "The other things are not in my hands."

In LaLiga, the Catalan club are in 10th spot, six points behind leaders and arch-rivals Real Madrid. But Barcelona have two games in hand, and Koeman was confident his injury-ravaged team would return to winning ways.

"So I'm calm, I'm trusting that we are going to win games as we did at the beginning of the season. We have seven points from three games, so there are a lot of games to go.

"I know, in the end, the results count and nothing else. And I have no fear for my future. Ultimately the president decides on behalf of the club.

After having last weekend's away LaLiga game vs Seville postponed due to the unavailability of a series of South American players involved with international duty, FC Barcelona are back in action at Camp Nou for just ther fourth game of the season. The Catalans have recorded two wins and a draw in their three 2021/22 season league games.

This Granada team are very much a 'work-in-progress' under new boss Robert Moreno who has overseen two draws and two defeats in his time on the bench and his side hover perilously close to the drop zone.

Barcelona fans will not want to be reminded of the last time when both sides faced off at Camp Nou with the side from Andalusia snatching a shock 1-2 win on 29 April which totally derailed the title aspirations that the 'blau-grana' held.

The final game of match-day five in LaLiga gets underway in the Catalan capital at 15:00 ET/21:00 CEST.
