Barcelona manager Luis Enrique reportedly held "crisis talks" with his squad ahead of this weekend's El Clasico against Real Madrid at the Camp Nou after the Blaugrana's poor showing in drawing 1-1 with Real Sociedad on Sunday.
The draw against La Real saw second-placed Barca drop six points behind leaders Real in La Liga, and they were fortunate to take even a point from the Anoeta Stadium as the hosts dominated proceedings and had a goal incorrectly ruled out for offside in the second half.
The weekend's first clash of the season with arch-rivals Real is now effectively a must-win game for Barca if they are to keep their title hopes alive.
