Barça Stars Open Up, Pleasing Flick in a Path-Correction Meeting

Session Highlights

The German coach Hans Flick held a lengthy team meeting inside Barça's locker room at the Joan Gamper Sports City, as the squad regrouped after a rough spell.

According to the Spanish daily Sport, Flick aimed to analyze mistakes and steer the club back on course after the latest setback, with players stressing the need to regain balance and discuss openly the technical shortcomings seen in recent matches.

He used the moment to open reflection and review, organizing a group-therapy style talk that lasted over an hour at Tito Vilanova, two days after a short break.
