Back-to-back defeats against Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid may have dented Barcelona's confidence, but the setbacks have not dampened the positive atmosphere inside the dressing room. According to Catalan outlet Sport, the team captains took the initiative on Wednesday by organizing a squad barbecue.
The team lunch was held at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper training ground, with the main goal of rallying the squad and boosting morale ahead of a crucial run of fixtures.
The venue was a strategic choice. In the past, similar get-togethers at restaurants around Barcelona drew unwanted media attention and prying eyes. This time, the players preferred the comfort of the club's facilities to ensure complete privacy.
The champions return to action on Saturday evening (22:00) when they host Alaves at Camp Nou. That is followed by another home fixture against Aston Villa in the Champions League on Tuesday, before a testing trip to Atletico Madrid on Sunday, November 9.
