Live thread: Ronald Koeman's press conference ahead of the game against Ferencváros.

Koeman: "We want to start the Champions League well, win the game and have peace of mind."

Koeman: "There is always pressure when you are a Barça player or coach. There is pressure to win games. It's normal for there to be difficult moments, but we are optimistic about tomorrow's game. We have to go from game to game."

Koeman: "Dembélé is training well. It's true that in the first half he lost a lot of balls, but it's also part of his way of playing. I told him to play more openly and the minutes he played in the second half were better."

Koeman: "Messi is happy, he's playing well, he wants to be the captain of the team and play. I have no complaints, I have no doubt about his performance. He will surely score in the next games."

Koeman: "We've played four games and we've scored eight goals, I don't know if there is any team who does better. I'm not worried about scoring goals, we have enough quality. The last two games we've also played against teams that defend very well."

Koeman: "I'm not disappointed, all the players are trying to do their best, we must improve things in the game. We train with intensity."

Koeman: "I don't know what was missing in previous years for Barça to win the Champions League. If we fail this season, I will be able to answer that."

Koeman: "Ansu and Pedri are ready to be starters. It doesn't depend on age, it depends on performance. I am very happy for them, they are young and they will have ups and downs in which we will have to help, they are both doing very well."

Koeman: "Griezmann knows his situation perfectly and the only thing he can do is work hard."

Koeman: "We're not the top favourites to win the Champions League, but we can go far."

Koeman: "Rest for Busquets or De Jong? The game on Saturday is not important for now, the important game for now is tomorrow's one."

That concludes Koeman's press conference. End of thread.
