A peace at the stroke of meetings

Barcelona have managed to plug the wound of the loss LaLiga after the defeat last Thursday at the Camp Nou against Osasuna. The overwhelming victory in Mendizorroza by 0-5 It was the last act of a healing process that started from the same moment that Osasuna hit Barcelona at home and Messi exploded in post-match remarks.

That same day, the first-team squad spoke for an hour to see how they could react to the Champions League, the only competition in which the Barcelona team maintains options to save a season that has been a disaster at all levels.

That meeting made it clear that the team was going to one, but it was necessary to cauterize the cut that separates certain leaders of the team, starting with Messi, with coach Quique Setién.

That was where the coach himself, after meeting with President Josep Maria Bartomeu on Friday when rumors about the coach's dismissal intensified, took a step forward.

As revealed by Catalunya Ràdio, On Saturday it was Setién himself who asked to meet with Leo Messi, with whom he was locked up in an hour-long talk in which they both faced each other and concluded that the best thing was to pause, join forces and think about the Champions League. Both agreed that the season had to end with the best possible feelings and that it was essential to take advantage of the rest days they will have during this week to reset and clear their minds.

The meetings gave their result with the victory of Barcelona against Alavés and the conciliatory words of Messi, who returned to be the spokesperson for the squad after the game at his own request to speak in an infinitely more conciliatory tone than he used only three days ago when it caused a fire that he wanted to put out. Speaking people understand each other and at the moment, using this method, the team from Barcelona has rearmed itself facing the Champions League.
