Football: 'Messi is finding it hard not winning games' - Koeman

Ronald Koeman refused to write off Barcelona's title chances this season and said that "anything can happen" on Monday as he looked ahead to his side's trip to Valladolid on Tuesday. Barca currently lie fifth in the Spanish league standings, eight points off the pace set by Atletico and Real Madrid and dropped points at home in a 2-2 draw with Valencia in their last outing. However, it's Barcelona's away form that most concerns Koeman. "I think we still have many games ahead," he said. "The problem is that we've lost several games away from home. That is the problem. We can't fail, because we've already failed in previous games. So this is more pressure for the team. We must win to shorten the distances with the leaders." Barcelona have picked up just four points from five away matches in La Liga so far this campaign, but will surely fancy their chances against a Valadolid side that sits 18th in the table.
