Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman stated that his side will play with no fear against Real Madrid in the first Clasico of the season at Camp Nou.
There has been speculations that the Dutch man might lose his job due to the poor run of form from his side before president Joan Laporta decided to hand him a stay of execution.
The win against Valencia and Dynamo Kiev this week have eased the pressure on Koeman for now and a win against Madrid would see them leapfrog Carlo Ancelotti’s side in the table.
“We’ve won two games in a row and the sensations are good,” Koeman said in a news conference on Saturday. “The Clasico is one of the most important games of the season and a chance to show that we are on the right path. The result is important, but it won’t be decisive because there is still a long way to go.
“We have to play without fear. We’re confident. We know what we can do and we want to show that. We are at home, we will have our fans behind us and I’m not going into the game with any fear.”
