Ronaldo Koeman who is the manager of Spanish giants Barcelona has demonstrated that he is under serious pressure at Camp Nou after failing to answer any question at the press conference.
Barcelona have been struggling this season in all competitions since Lionel Messi left for Paris Saint-Germain, and the club's fans are not happy with the situation.
Last week, Barcelona suffered an embarrassing defeat in the Champions League against Bayern Munich and even defender Gerard Pique admitted that his side are not the favourites for the title.

According to the report on Sportbible and Eurosport, Ronald Koeman failed to speak with any reporter, but he came with his press statement, read and left the room.
Ronald Koeman's statement
"The club is with me as a coach, in a situation of rebuilding. The financial situation of the club is connected to the sporting activities, and vice versa.
"This means that we as a team have to rebuild the football team without being able to make any big financial investments.
"This needs time. The young talent today could end up being the next big world stars, in just a few years.''
Barcelona is currently occupying the eighth position on the Spanish La Liga table and they must improve so as to climb to the top four.
