It has been a tough one for Barcelona in recent months, who have dropped to third place in the standings with one win in seven La Liga matches. Taking this into account, the winter break comes at a good time for the Catalans, who can use the ten days of the week to regroup before returning to action.
Next month, Barcelona will have the chance to win their first trophy of the season. They will face Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup, and if they want to progress they will face Real Madrid or Mallorca in the final. According to Diario AS, the position of the first team is clear ahead of the tournament: “we are playing for the first title of the season and we have to win it; we owe it to Hansi Flick.”
Barcelona must recover quickly from this poor recent form and the motivation to win a trophy must be strong. However, bringing the loot home in Saudi Arabia will be easier said than done.
