The Barça coach had a nose bleed for the second time this season so it was cut short

Ronal Koeman had to leave Friday's press conference early, with less than half the questions answered, due to a nose bleed.

Seeing the situation, Barça's press officer decided to cut the media appearance short as Koeman reached for the tissues to try to stem the bleding.

It's not the first time it's happened ot Koeman, who suffered a nose bleed in another press conference earlier this season.

Minutes prior to leaving the press conference, he had spoken about the pressure involved with the top job at Camp Nou.

"I know being Barça coach means there is always a lot of pressure," he said. "If you don't win, you're to blame and I accept that.

"I have been a coach for many years, always trying to do my best. I don't think about losing, only about winning. I don't know what could happen in the future, but there's time to talk about it, I am optimistic."
