Koeman and Messi: A hug for unity and hope

Ronald Koeman and Leo Messi, at the end of the game, as well as greeting each other and congratulating each other on the 2-0 win at Juventus, gave each other a big hug. They showed their joy and satisfaction for the win and especially the way the team played. They grew from the Clasico defeat, because of the refereeing decision that cost them.

The coach and the captain have mutual respect and the same commitment. Returning the team to the top after what happened last season. Images that anyone in Blaugrana will like to see and that should bring back hope to the team.

Koeman praised his players afterwards. "We were superior, above all, with our play," said Koeman. "The team showed a lot of personality against a strong European side."

Koeman wants a happy and motivated Messi. The Argentine scored from the spot and was heavily involved in the game.

If Barcelona can keep this level of form going and keep working like this, they are a candidate for everything - despite how VAR is working in Spain.
