the locker room at the bottom of the hole after a bad weekend?

It’s a weekend that visibly leaves its mark on Barça’s side. The daily AS assures in recent hours, the morale of the Catalan locker room would be at its lowest after the draw snatched by Betis in the last seconds (2-2). This disillusionment worsened with Real Madrid’s victory against Girona (3-0), which reduced the gap in the standings to just two points. According to the Spanish newspaper, the players have closed faces, and tension reigns within the team, now consumed by worry and frustration.

The same mistakes, and Real comes back

Since the arrival of Hansi Flick, never has the team seemed so morally affected. The German coach had already expressed his anger after the match against Celta Vigo, where Barça let an acquired victory slip away, conceding a draw after leading 2-0. Flick did not wait to violently lecture his players in the locker room, an episode still etched in memories. However, two weeks later, the same mistakes are repeated, without even the excuse of numerical inferiority. Against Betis, despite his expulsion and a game followed from the stands, Flick did not hide his frustration.

After the match, the coach opted for a more measured tone, aware of the state of his players. Although he firmly pointed out the errors, he also sought to motivate them to reverse the dynamic. But morale remains low. Sunday’s training was marked by serious faces and few words exchanged. The collective awareness is clear: four points were wasted in two matches where the team had the cards in hand. With these points, Barça could have comfortably led the championship.
