The latest Champions League loss against Bayern Munich started a wave of changes at Camp Nou. Quique Setien parted ways with the club being immediately replaced by the former Barca star Ronald Koeman who until quite recently was managing Netherlands national football team.
The new Blaugrana boss immediately put his foot on the gas and started trimming the roster, reportedly «saying goodbye» to some of Barca’s top names (i.a. Luis Suarez, Vidal, Rakitic). Moreover, it is looking like Bayern Munich matchup was the last Barcelona appearance for Lionel Messi, according to the latest news.
Keeping this in mind, what future is coming up for the Catalonian powerhouse under Koeman? Looking at the odds offered by the
bookmaker Betfair, the triple trophy seems quite doubtful for Barca in the next season. The bookmaker pays an interesting
26.00 (25/1) for the Spanish side to win La Liga, Copa del Rey & Champions League. However, the more realistic scenario for Barcelona seems to be finishing out of the La Liga’s Top 2 and even out of the Top 4, given the odds of
3.30 (23/10) &
14.00 (13/1) respectively.
Can Koeman lead the struggling Barcelona out of the crisis? Are oddsmakers from Betfair going to be right once again? We all shall soon find it out. Let us know what you think down in the comments below and come back for more interesting information from the world of sports & online betting.
