Philippe Coutinho has said that there is tension in the Barcelona squad which will face Juventus in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.

The Brazilian said that the situation at the club is as a result of the changes which brought about a new manager and players.

However, the forward who returned from a loan spell in Bayern Munich expressed hope that things will turn out good.

He told Marca: “The coach has changed, the players, it’s all part of the process of renewal, we have to be patient and we have to make everything work in the best way possible.

“I know the performance hasn’t been what’s expected, being Barcelona there’s a lot of tension, what I can say is that I’ve worked mentally to be good.

“Even more so coming from a defeat, you’re more hungry to get back onto the pitch and show our strength.”
