Koeman: 'Tomorrow's Clásico isn't decisive, there's still a lot to play for'

Ronald Koeman attended the media for the Real Madrid v Barça preview from the CASA SEAT facilities. For the first time, this space dedicated to innovation and mobility that the automobile company has in Barcelona, ​​hosted the Barça coach's press conference which, following health recommendations, was held in a digital format.

Likewise, CASA SEAT will also host the retransmission of the 'Barça LIVE' El Clásico programme - original FC Barcelona content that, via its presenters, follows and narrates what happens during the match live. This collaboration is part of the global alliance between Barça and CUPRA, which is the club's official Automotive and Mobility partner.

Good moment for the squad

"The team is confident and we have had good results lately."

"We are both fighting to win the league."

"The players have played many games and it's important to be fresh to face an exciting league climax."

"The team has improved, although we didn't have a bad game in the first round match. We lost it in the second half."

"We have improved in attack and defence. Tomorrow we have to carry on doing the same things despite having Real Madrid ahead of us."

The importance of El Clásico

"Tomorrow's result is not decisive, there are still many match days left and with difficult games to come."

"Whoever wins tomorrow will gain a lot of morale for the remainder of the league campaign."

The opponent

"A Clásico is a game different from the rest. Barça are doing well and have had a great run of results with many points achieved, which is something very positive. Real Madrid have had excessive criticism, since they are still alive in the Champions League and are fighting to win the league."

"They're a team that play with various systems. Our job is to prepare for the game in any system."

The return of Piqué and Sergi Roberto

"They are two important players, not only for their quality but also for their personality, and more so in a match like tomorrow."

"Piqué is a player who, because he is captain and because of his personality, is important in these games."

"Both players are physically well and very excited for tomorrow."

Leo Messi

"We need the best Messi, but also the best Barça. We have to play well and do the right things in attack. We need good passing to create opportunities."

Injuries

"Sergio Ramos and Varane are important losses for Real Madrid, because they are two very good centre-backs and one is their captain, but against Liverpool they already showed that they have great players who can replace them."
