Former Netherlands head coach Ronald Koeman has named Barcelona as the favourites to win both UEFA Champions League and LaLiga this season.
Koeman stated this at a charity event at Barcelona Golf Club, describing Barcelona as a strong team.
“I see Barca as strong; they have a great team and a great coach. Barca are the big favourites for La Liga; the Champions League is another story,” the Dutchman said.
“Then, in the knockout stage, you can have a tough night. But they are still the favourites.”
Barcelona will face Villarreal in their first match after the international break on November 22, before travelling to Azerbaijan to take on Sabah in the Champions League.
They won the LaLiga last season but failed to win the Champions League as Paris Saint-Germain won the competition for the second time in a row.
