MADRID (Reuters) - Barcelona president Joan Laporta gave coach Ronald Koeman his backing on Saturday, saying the Dutchman deserves time to turn the club's fortunes around.

Koeman has come under fire after Barca won just one of their last five games in all competitions, including a 3-0 humbling by Benfica in the Champions League on Wednesday.

"We understand that he deserves a bit of margin for many reasons: He's a Barca fan and legend for fans all over the world. He'll stay on and deserves a margin of confidence. "After talking to him, I can see he's got faith in the team ... We spoke and it's not true that we've got a tense relationship - it's good and honest. I think we both think the same, to turn things round."
