Barcelona have managed just one win in their last five La Liga games, and while the Catalan media don’t usually need much encouragement to use the word crisis, there has certainly been growing concern surrounding their form. Coach Hansi Flick has not made many changes to improve his form.
Flick and his team consider that the main cause of his decline is his physical freshness and loss of competitive tension. As a result, they have tried to rotate more in their last two games, but Sport say they altered their training program on Monday to help them regain that sharpness. The Barcelona team focused on the gym instead of training normally, hoping that their team would face Borussia Dortmund better rested.
The locker room was in low spirits after the defeat against Real Betis, and Real Madrid’s victory over Girona made things even worse. @fansjavimiguel

The German believes he needs his players 100% for his plans to work, something he hasn’t seen lately. He wants the aggressiveness and sharpness of the first months to return to his side. Barcelona will also return from their Champions League obligations on Thursday instead of Wednesday night, which means three days away from their families, considering their rest and eating schedule is more important.
The Blaugrana are closing in on a place in Europe’s top eight, and if they can beat Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday night, they will be within reach. Flick and the club are reportedly currently prioritizing the Champions League, but this has cost them dearly in La Liga. Their draw against Real Betis means that Real Madrid can take first place if they win their remaining match.
