Barcelona today is not Barca of 8 years ago: Koeman on Barca style of play

"Do you play tiki-taka? A reporter asked Ronald Koeman after the Granada game.

"We did what had to be done. Barcelona today is not the same as Barca 8 years ago,” Koman answered.

"We played 4-3-3 at first but we don’t have speed on the wings. Ansu Fati and Dembele will get us back the speed we need,” the gaffer added.

Barcelona resorted to diagonal long balls into the box in an attempt to break down Granada after going one goal with barely 90 seconds into the game.

The Blaugrana have now slipped 5 points behind Real Madrid in the title race, although Barca have a game in hand.
