Barcelona meets for barbecue and crisis talks after first defeats

Barcelona's first defeats of the season have prompted coach Hansi Flick to gather the squad for a meeting and barbecue to restore morale.

• Barcelona lost twice in one week for the first time this season, falling 4-2 to Paris Saint-Germain and 2-1 to Real Madrid.
• Hansi Flick convened players and staff on Wednesday evening for a team-building session that included a barbecue at the club's training center.
• Raphinha and Rodri, both viewed as dressing-room leaders, gave speeches to motivate teammates, and players discussed pressing errors and imprecise passing.
• A club source said the gathering was "not about erasing what happened, but reconciling with it together."
• Marca reported Rodri organized a team lunch with Raphinha and other leaders to strengthen squad cohesion after the two defeats.
