Eto'o warned Atletcio Madrid before tonights crucial match
The Dutch coach is under a lot of pressure and now the former star of Camp Nou has come to help him.
The two teams will face each other tonight in Wanda Metropolitano, and many believe that this game may be Ronald Koeman's last match on the Barca bench. Blaugrana have won just one of their last five games and a 3-0 defeat to Benfica in the Champions League has increased the pressure on the Dutchman. However, they have been unbeaten in La Liga, two points behind Atletico with one match in hand. Koeman needs to win tonight to maintain his position, and now Samuel Eto'o is backing his former team.
He told
Sport:<em>
“From my point of view, Atletico has the best squad of all the teams in La Liga currently, not just over Barca.
“They are favourites, but Barca are always Barca.”
But perhaps Koeman may be lucky that Atletico have not performed well in recent weeks, winning just two of their five games. However, they are in high spirits after winning against Milan in the Champions League.
