Ahead of Barcelona’s gritty 1-0 win over Leganes at Butarque, the team received an emotional and motivational boost that helped propel them to a vital victory in the La Liga title race.

The pre-match huddle, which was captured by television cameras, saw a powerful speech delivered by one of Hansi Flick’s assistant coaches, Pepe Conde, the fitness coach, who reminded the players of the importance of the game.

Conde’s message to the team

In a passionate address, Conde stressed the significance of the clash, urging the squad to embrace the hunger needed to win. He said:

“Championships are won and lost in these games. They’re fighting to avoid relegation. Let’s not be less hungry than them.

“We’re hungrier than them because we’re fighting to win a championship. Let’s not throw away the work we’ve done. Okay? Let’s get to it.”

The words clearly resonated with the players, as Barcelona went into battle against a determined Leganes side, who were fighting for survival in La Liga.

While the match did not showcase the most dazzling football, the message of resilience and determination was key to their success.

The crucial three points were secured, albeit through a solitary own goal, extending Barcelona’s lead at the top of the table and bringing them one step closer to the league title.

In the race for the championship, every point counts, and while the performance may not have been the most aesthetically pleasing, it was a reflection of the hard work and tenacity that will ultimately decide the winner of La Liga this season.

This victory, secured under immense pressure, proves that even in the toughest of battles, Barcelona’s hunger and commitment remain strong.
