'I don't believe at all that Barca are in crisis, Koeman just needs time': Andrea Pirlo

Barcelona has earned just 14 points after 10 La Liga games this season.

The Juventus boss believes it's normal for Barca to struggle a bit as they've changed three managers over the last 12 months.

"I don't believe at all that they are in crisis. They have strong players and a coach who is putting his ideas together, he needs time like us," Juventus head coach Andrea Pirlo told the pre-Barcelona presser, as quoted by Goal.

"It's strange to see them struggling in La Liga, but it's normal, they had a season with two coaches and now there is a third, it is normal to have to find better solutions with the players to find the right conditions. They will recover in the league as well.

"They are a great team and tomorrow we'll have a very good performance. Compared to the first game, we must be better out of possession and be closer to the midfield and defensive lines."

As things stand now, Barcelone are ninth in the La Liga standings, with just 14 points after 10 games.

On the other hand, Ronald Koeman's men have won each of their five Champions League clashes this season, including the 2-0 victory in Turin in October.

The Catalans will try to make it two out of two against the Serie A giants at Camp Nou on Tuesday.
