Barcelona are going through a difficult period, which was further compounded by a recent defeat to Atletico Madrid.
The club have managed to win just one of their last seven league matches and are currently going through their worst run in 16 years.
Despite that, there remains an air of optimism within the ranks at Barcelona, with the board fully backing the players and the coach.
Barcelona’s optimistic outlook after Atleti defeat
As reported by Cadena SER, in the aftermath of their latest match against Atletico Madrid, the mood inside the club was not one of despair but of pride and determination.
President Joan Laporta was seen cheering the team post-match, reinforcing the message of support and belief in the current squad and coaching staff.
The loss was seen as a sign of what Barcelona can achieve when they adhere to their tactical blueprint.
In fact, the Barcelona camp took pride in the way the team played against Atletico Madrid. The consensus is that if Barcelona can replicate this level of performance, victories and titles are still within reach this season.

The sentiment is clear: the path to success is the one laid out on the pitch against Atletico, even if the scoreline didn’t reflect it.
This comes even amidst concerns within the camp over the performances of certain individuals, including star striker Robert Lewandowski.
For now, Barcelona’s aim will be to re-energise and rethink their strategies heading into the Christmas period.
The Catalans are set to resume their campaign on January 4, when they take on Barbastro in the Round of 32 of the Copa Del Rey.
