The Barcelona captains and other important players improvised a meeting his week, where one task transpired: winning the double. According to 'Marca' and other sources, the club is planning on doing everything in their power to win LaLiga and the UCL.
Leo Messi, Gerard Piqué, Sergio Busquets and Sergi Roberto, the four captains, departed along with other heavyweights such as Luis Suarez, Ter Stegen, Jordi Alba and Arturo Vidal. According to the same sources, three academy products were also witnesses of the lively conversation, from which emerged phrases of conviction and motivation.
Now that calm is beginning to return, winning is back on the table, and the Catalan club actually has a shot. For several reasons. There will hardly be a month and a half of competition and the team is starting from an advantageous position. Barcelona leads the table in LaLiga, although with a slight advantage over Madrid, while they feel capable of beating Napoli and going through to the next round in the Champions League.
In addition, a very important question that the heavyweights also discussed is the physical and mental shape the squad finds itself in. If Barcelona were having trouble with injuries a few months ago, most of their stars have now come back from injury.
Luis Suarez will join the final stretch of competition, Leo Messi has already begun to demonstrate his usual high standards in training and other key players such as as Gerard Pique or Sergio Busquets, who had been overloaded with games, may reach the final games of competition with less fatigue.
