From the source

Barcelona suffered back-to-back defeats against PSG and Real Madrid, leaving Hansi Flick facing his first serious test of the season. Until last week, it had all been smooth sailing for the Catalans, who had won every single game they had played.

However, the successive defeats have presented the squad’s senior players with an opportunity to take responsibility and resolve the situation. According to Mundo Deportivo, Raphinha and Rodri were central to organising a team barbecue at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper on Wednesday.

Flick, his staff and the first-team squad attended the 90-minute gathering after training, with the aim of reinforcing unity in the dressing room. Raphinha, Barcelona’s first captain, helped drive the initiative alongside Rodri and the other senior players.
