There is no better of getting forgiveness from your fans than with a win. The Champions League returns to Camp Nou and the public expect Barca to give it their all in order to come away with the three points.
However, the atmosphere is not ideal due to what has happened in the last few days. and it is the Barca team, that had half got over the shock against the Levante, where they lost 3-1.
Messi and co gave up and ended up losing 3-1 and that made the squad and Valverde reflect on the current situation. They gave the leadership of La Liga on a plate to their rivals and the Barcelona were lucky because none of them snatched first position because of it.
The scare then went to tranquility, although there is never time to relax and more so due to the upcoming Champions League fixtures. This Tuesday, Slavia visit the Camp Nou and hope to put their rivals in serious trouble, as they did in the first leg.
The Czech's played better than Barca, but the result ended up in Valverde's favour (1-2). There the doubts started to surface, the same doubts that appeared in the game against Levante.
In the pre-match conference, both Semedo and the coach defended the team and were self-critical to the poor performances in the last few games.
Without Luis Suarez, Barcelona need to get back some of their confidence with a win against Slavia, a game they cannot lose. Messi and Griezmann will have to forget the Uruguayan next to the new member of the trio that the coach decides.
