Ronald Koeman endured a difficult exit from the Camp Nou on Sunday afternoon as supporters swarmed around his car at the stadium exit.
The Dutch coach is blamed by most fans for the Barcelona’s poor start to the season and after losing his third straight Clasico he drove away from the ground only for his car to be confronted by a group of young supporters waiting to take pictures of players as they left the Camp Nou.
Most of the attention was harmless with many just taking selfies in front of Koeman but some banged on the bonnet of the manager’s car and there were some insults as he was finally able to pull away.
What was most striking that there was no organisation or effort to disperse the crowd by club officials so the 58 year-old manager could leave the ground safely.
Barcelona swiftly condemned the incident, adding it would implement 'disciplinary measures' to ensure the event remains a one-off.
'FC Barcelona publicly condemns the violent and disdainful acts that our manager experienced when leaving the Camp Nou,' the club said in a statement posted on its official Twitter account.
'The Club will take security and disciplinary measures so that such unfortunate events do not happen again.'
Koeman said he thought it was an exaggeration that his team could have lost by a greater margin.
He said: ‘We controlled the game in the first half. And we had a great chance to take the lead.
‘But in the second half they defended well and we were not able to create danger.
‘I’m disappointed by the result but not by the performance.’
Asked about Ansu Fati hobbling odd in the second half Koeman said: ‘I don’t think it has anything to do with the knee injury he had.
'But 70 minutes were enough for him. He still worked really hard.
Admitting the defeat will hurt, he added: ‘losing a Clasico always means more than just three points.’
Meanwhile, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti cut a more satisfied figure after his side remained second in LaLiga, a point behind Real Sociedad, who drew 2-2 against Atletico Madrid on Sunday and have played a game more.
'I think we can compete with everyone, the team is solid although we need to be a little more efficient up front,' the Italian said in post-match press conference, as reported by Marca.
'But we’ve played against a great team and we’ve suffered. We’re capable of suffering together.
'[The game] was practical and intelligent. Very good in defence. We missed some passes but we were very effective on the break. This team has a lot of quality and we have to enjoy them.
'This wasn’t an easy game, and winning makes us happy. I’m happy to win El Clasico because it’s the most important game.
'I don’t like getting into the other team but they’ve also played a good game.'

Barcelona fans are cry babies.. they just hate their manager. The team played fine considering who they were against. Barcelona in rebuild, bush of young players. Real Madrid has established players as compare to both teams. With that being said, Coutihno and Aguero need to be given more playing time, they could make a difference. Dest is a defender, yes, he joins the attacks, that common for RB and LB now a days. He shouldn't have been put in that position in such a big game. Overall, Barcelona played well, losing on by 1 goal.
