Koeman also confirmed that he will play with the same line-up as he did against Villarreal:

“There is no need to make any rotations for tomorrow’s game. This team should not play differently away from home. We should not play differently no matter where we are. We have a great team and we will see how the squad performs outside of the Camp Nou.”

The Dutch manager added that the Catalan club is actively looking for a striker, and that there are many options on the table:

“We are looking for a number 9, and there are many options. I will not mention the names of the players we are interested in.”
