Barcelona: Ronald Koeman continues the bad statistics

Beaten 1-2 at home by Real Madrid, the Dutch coach equals a sad record in the history of Spanish football.

We knew this particular match for Barça who played their first Classico without Lionel Messi for more than a decade, but also for Koeman who has been in the hot seat for several months. Due to the accumulation of bad performances, the technician of FC Barcelona has, in recent times, suffered from many criticisms which have put back on the discussion table, the question of his maintenance at the head of the technical supervision of the club. For this 99th defeat of the Blaugrana against Real, the Dutchman has made history again.

Indeed, Ronald Koeman became the second coach in La Liga history to lose his first three Classico, after Patrick O’Connell between 1935 and 1940, also with Barça. A very negative statistic, when we know the extent of the historical rivalry between the two Cadors of Spanish Football.
