Following defeats against Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, Raphinha and Rodri organized a team barbecue on Wednesday at the club’s training complex, Mundo Deportivo reported. The gathering, which included Hansi Flick and his coaching staff, lasted approximately one hour and thirty minutes as players stayed behind after training and a commercial photoshoot.
Barbecue Organized at Training Complex After Losses
The informal gathering aimed to address recent sporting setbacks and mend team cohesion rather than erase past results. According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, club insiders indicated that the core objective was to process the recent downturn together rather than pretend it did not happen. Barcelona officials declined to confirm whether the event had been scheduled in advance or specifically prompted by the losses in European and domestic competition.
Despite the recent dip in form, players and coaching staff remain confident in their ability to turn the current situation around. The defeats in the Champions League and LaLiga arrived following eleven consecutive victories. That successful run built a cushion at the top of the Spanish domestic table, though the chasing pack has quickly closed the gap.
League Standings and Upcoming Match Schedule
Barcelona enters the next stretch of fixtures holding a two-point lead over Atlético Madrid in the LaLiga standings. Meanwhile, Real Madrid have trimmed the deficit and sit three points behind. Hansi Flick has consistently emphasized the importance of squad unity, previously telling reporters that the locker room functions as a family.
