BARCELONA DENOUNCE FANS ABUSING KOEMAN AFTER CLASICO DEFEAT

Barcelona condemned abuse from fans aimed at coach Ronald Koeman on Sunday as he left Camp Nou following the team’s 2-1 defeat by Real Madrid.⁣
⁣
Koeman is a Barca legend after scoring the winning goal in the 1992 European Cup final but he has been under heavy pressure as coach in recent weeks.⁣
⁣
“FC Barcelona publicly condemns the violent and disdainful acts that our manager experienced when leaving the Camp Nou,” a club statement read.⁣
⁣
“The Club will take security and disciplinary measures so that such unfortunate events do not happen again.”⁣
⁣
Fans were seen gathering around Koeman’s car and shouting abuse at the Dutchman as he attempted to drive out of the stadium.⁣
⁣
Barcelona had just lost to Real Madrid for the fourth time in a row, their longest run of defeats in the fixture since 1965.⁣
⁣
The result leaves them eighth in La Liga and puts renewed pressure on Koeman, whose future has been uncertain after a poor start to the season.⁣
