Barcelona coaches and players held no-holds-barred crisis talks

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique held crisis talks with staff and players on Wednesday morning.

The club is reeling after their 4-0 first-leg defeat to Champions League opponents PSG.

Sport says the meeting was longer than the usual 25 minutes, but for the content, which laid bare the tension there is in the dressing room.

The heavyweights did not stop talking and discussing the disaster at Parc des Princes. It is usually the coaches who speak loudest in these meetings but the players are also allowed to express their opinions.

This meeting was especially tense. The way they came out of it made it clear that it was also cathartic. Long faces, few words and seriousness were the common denominator for the group in training, who want to get rid of the Paris game from their hard disk.
