#5 The treble is on the line
Not a lot of teams can boast of winning the treble. Manchester United have done it in England, Inter Milan have done it in Italy, Bayern Munich in Germany and Barcelona have done it a record two times in Spain.
This is their chance to extend that record. They are in the finals of the Copa del Rey, and with the traditional big teams already knocked out and Alaves in the finals, the trophy in all likeliness is coming to the Camp Nou. They are just behind Real Madrid in the La Liga table with the El Classico still scheduled to take place.
The Champions League is the only other trophy in question, and with the experience, that member of this team has (Sergio Busquets, Andreas Iniesta, Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique, have won it thrice), and might be the biggest motivation for the current pool of players.
