Ronald Koeman has become a regular on social media. Lately, he has not missed the opportunity to send a message the day after the game where he expresses his feelings. And obviously the victory in the final of the Copa del Rey (0-4) against Athletic Bilbao was no exception.
The Dutch coach released a 'tweet' at 11.32 hours in which you could read: “What an extraordinary night! Great performance and our first title as a team Visit Barça and visit Catalunya!“. The text was followed by two hearts, with the Blaugrana colors. The message was also written in English and was accompanied by a photograph of the players celebrating the Cup title in the middle of the La Cartuja field, with Messi and Sergio Busquets presiding over the image and lifting the trophy. In the photograph you can also see Koeman, although far apart and accompanied by his second, Alfred Schroeder.

There is no doubt that for Koeman it was the final dream: all his bets, risky as they were, turned out well. He kept the 3-5-2, although in the last two games he had had to modify the drawing in the middle of the game, He lined up Gerard Piqué as the starter, who played infiltrated in his right knee, and He discarded Dembélé in the team to accompany Griezmann to the attack with Leo Messi.
A title that undoubtedly reinforces Koeman's continuity at the helm of Barcelona next season. Do not forget that the Dutch coach he has one more year left on his contract, but today Joan Laporta has not yet confirmed it publicly. While it is true that all the inputs that the coach receives from the president are positive, it is also true that there has not yet been an official pronouncement on Koeman's continuity.
In any case, the team still has eight finals until the end of the season, since he is still in the fight for the LaLiga title. A fight between Atlético de Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona, in which the Blaugrana appear a priori as the least favorite, occupying third place, but where they have not yet said their last word: with an Atlético that has lost many points in the last leg of the season and a Real Madrid that will have to multiply efforts and wear to face the semifinals of the Champions League.
