'I felt like Madrid was favoured more than Barca': Koeman reacts to Van Gaal's 'rigged World Cup' claim

Earlier this week, Van Gaal claimed that the quarterfinal game between the Netherlands and Argentina was scripted, explaining that Leo Messi 'had to' win the World Cup.

Van Gaal claims Netherlands' loss to Argentina was rigged: 'Messi had to become the world champion'

The Oranje captain Virgil van Dijk went on to say that he totally disagrees with the coach's take.

Now, ex-Barcelona and current Dutch boss Ronald Koeman chimed in on the topic.

"I wouldn’t have said it I was him [Van Gaal]. You get a lot of commotion because of it.

I experienced moments in Spain where I had the feeling Real Madrid was favoured more than Barca, but you can’t really prove it, so it’s better not to say it."
