LaLiga: Koeman reacts to Barcelona’s 1-1 draw with Alaves

Barcelona head coach, Ronald Koeman, has admitted he is worried about recent results, after their 1-1 draw at Alaves on Saturday condemned them to their worst start in LaLiga since the 2002-03 season.

Luis Rioja opened the scoring for Alaves at Mendizorroza after a mix up between Gerard Pique and Neto before Antoine Griezmann levelled after the break with his first goal of the season.

Barca are now without a win in four league games, drawing two and losing two, and have registered just eight points from their opening six matches.

The last time they had such a low points total at this stage of the campaign was under Louis van Gaal 18 years ago.

The Blaugrana are already eight points behind early leaders Real Madrid, although they do have a game in hand.

“I am worried by that. It’s not normal for a team like Barca to pick up just two points from the last 12 [available].

“But as I have said, we’re changing a lot of things. I can’t complain about the attitude of the team. I can be disappointed with the performances, but the season is very long,” Koeman said in a news conference when asked about his side’s winless run. “
