Barcelona had its pre-match press conference before the Barcelona-FTC Champions League group stage game. The head coach, Ronald Koeman spoke with great respect about Ferencváros. The Dutch coach made it clear that they are not thinking about the match against Real Madrid this weekend, but about the CL clash against Fradi on Tuesday.

"Every week is very important to us," started Koeman. "We want to start off the Champions League well, with a victory. We expect a hard game, even at our home stadium. There’s always pressure on the team to win, but I’m optimistic about the match. Ferencváros is a very physical, strong team that likes to have the possession of the ball, so we will play with our best players. Our opponent has attacking players who could make things difficult for us.

At the same time, we need to enforce our own game. Currently the most important is not El Clásico on Saturday, but the match against Ferencváros."
