Barcelona assistant manager Marcus Sorg asked the team to respond to the demands of playing multiple games.
The Catalan giants are balancing La Liga and UEFA Champions League affairs this season with an average of one match every 3-4 days.
A 1-0 home defeat against Leganés reduced their league title lead on goal difference over second-place Atlético Madrid.
Barcelona’s decline in domestic form is a growing concern, with just one league win in their last six domestic matches, and they will face Los Rojiblancos in their final league match of 2024 on December 21.
Sorg occupied the Barcelona touchline, with Hansi Flick beginning his two-match suspension on the bench, and the German coach admitted his resilience needs to improve.
“We had 20 chances despite not playing a good game, but we didn’t score. It is difficult to win like this,” Marca reports.
“We have to learn from this. We have played many demanding games in a few days and the team is not used to it. We have to work on it.”
If Barcelona beat Atlético Madrid at home, they will maintain first place in early 2025, but anything else could allow Real Madrid to overtake them, if they beat Sevilla.
