After the draw against Celta, the exchange of words in the FCB changing room was very heated. Setien, frustrated as he can't do what he originally planned, told players things had to change a lot, that it was easy for them to get rid of him, he had heard it had happened before...

But that it was better if they all fought together (and so on). Players might still doubt Setien ability to run this team but that (impressive) chat changed their perspective. Pique wrote a tweet with a call to unity and the game against Aleti saw a better version of FCB (2-2)

Today the line up (no Ansu Fatin or Riqui) suggested Setien went for the strongest team. Griezmann, playing both as a 10 and a 9, feels more adapted to Messi. Their hug after AG goal confirms suggestions their relationship, still not perfect but has been improving for a while

Since the return, Messi has been insisting "it's only two months, guys" but only after the turning point of that clash and Setien speech, the team has shown its best version. Too late for the league but with the CL in mind (today 4-1o at Villarreal)

Of course, the Messi issue still there. He is not fully happy and has stopped negotiations for a new contract as he still has a year to go. And some see Xavi Hernández im charge as early as September. But for now FCB feels a bit more adjusted to their main target: CL
