Barcelona boss Koeman reveals there was great dissatisfaction among the players in his first days at Camp Nou.

Ronald Koeman reveals that there was a true internal crisis at the team in his first days at Camp Nou.

Therefore, he spoke to Leo Messi first to know what was actually happening.

"In my first days, I talked a lot to people about the situation at the club. Then it became clear that there was great dissatisfaction among the players, in all kinds of areas," Ronald Koeman has told AD.

"It was, therefore, a priority for me to talk to Messi first, to hear how he saw things," the Dutchman explained.

August was arguably the hardest month for Barca this year. The Catalans were routed by Bayern Munich in the Champions League while Leo Messi seemingly wanted out.
