Hansi Flick Grants Barcelona Squad Two-Day Break After Unexpected Loss

In the wake of Barcelona's unexpected 1-0 home loss to Leganes, head coach Hansi Flick has decided to grant the team a two-day break. The squad is scheduled to return to training on Wednesday to prepare for the pivotal league match against Atletico Madrid on Saturday at Montjuic. This decision comes despite the recent defeat, as the team had an intense schedule last week, including a midweek match in Dortmund followed by immediate training sessions. Currently, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are level on 38 points, with Atletico having a game in hand, while Real Madrid trails closely with 37 points and also a game less than Barcelona.
