Barcelona has gotten used to living in the abyss and when it seems to be doomed, surviving against the odds. So, The team met at Leo Messi's house to have a unity meal for the remaining four days of the League and that they will have their first and decisive chapter in next Saturday's game at the Camp Nou against Atlético de Madrid.
This newspaper contacted FC Barcelona to see if that meal represented a violation of the COVID regulations, but from the club they assured that the team forms a bubble and that they eat every day together at the Ciutat Esportiva and that the distance rules were respected at all times.
This meal is interpreted as a Messi's act of leadership as team captain heading into the decisive phase of the season, starting with the match against the Cholo Simeone team.
In Barça, the conviction has been installed that if the four remaining LaLiga games are won, the team will lift the title and the hit of the defeat at home against Granada last Thursday is already over.
Koeman already announced before going to play in Valencia his conviction that “If we win all five games, champions.” An idea that President Joan Laporta reaffirmed after the victory at Mestalla.
“I already said before the game against Valencia that if we win the five remaining games we are convinced that we will win LaLiga. Well, now there are no longer five, now there are four that we have left to win the title ”, declared the president upon his arrival in Barcelona from Valencia at dawn.
Barcelona are in the same situation as in the 91-92 season, when with four games to go they were third behind Real Madrid and Atlético. That course, The team that Johan Cruyff was coaching at that time won the last four games of the championship and was proclaimed champion against the odds with the defeat of Real Madrid in Tenerife on the last day.
