Bartomeu and three others – CEO Oscar Grau and lawyer Roman Gomez Ponti, as well as former director Jaume Masferrer – were arrested on Monday as part of the ‘Barcagate’ scandal, which the Dutch coach distanced himself from.

“It’s not a good look for the club,” Koeman said during Tuesday’s pre-match press conference.

“We have to wait and see what happens. I wasn’t here [at the time], I don’t know what happened. We can’t do anything, we have to focus on football.”
