5 Things Barcelona need to do to win the Treble

#3 Some players need to be rotated

FC Barcelona v Sevilla - Copa del Rey Quarter Final

Barcelona coach, Ernesto Valverde, would like to rotate his best players so that they are in the best form as well as injury free. This was one of the major reason why Barcelona were defeated by Roma last season in the Champions League. Players like Suarez complained in a press conference saying that he was not fully ready to play and needed some rest before.

This season, he has made some good rotations but he is not yet perfect at it. Players like Pique, who is the most important defender, have not been rotated. He is the only player in LaLiga to play every single match this season. Also, Suarez demanded some rest in the press conference after the draw against Athletic Bilbao.

With Samuel Umtiti almost fit, he will surely come back to the pitch soon. This will surely help Pique and Lenglet to rest, who had to play each and every game when both Umtiti and Vermaelen were injured. Pique can also be replaced by Murillo who is on loan from Valencia. Suarez could also be rested more now as the club has bought Kevin Boetang as a number 9. Also, Malcolm has performed well, so we can also see Messi as false 9 and any two of Coutinho, Dembele or Malcolm as wingers.

#2 Magic from the costly players

Celta de Vigo v Barcelona - La Liga

After the departure of Neymar, Barcelona had to spend some money to bring good quality attackers. They bought Ousmane Dembele and Philippe Coutinho to replace Neymar and Iniesta. Both of them are the costliest players in Barcelona history and have cost them around 280 million.

Yet these players have struggled to prove themselves. Dembele though has been in good form in patches this season, scoring some decisive goals at crucial moments and making some amazing runs and dribbles. Coutinho has failed to express himself and has been in miserable form. Not able to score those curlers, not able to give good passes he is known for, he has struggled much this season. Though he has been always backed-up by the coach, he and Dembele both have to be at their best for Barcelona to win the treble.
