Croatian international, Ivan Rakitic, has expressed confidence that Barcelona will bounce back from their current form to lift the Spanish league title.
The Catalans, who recently crashed out of the Uefa champions league were beaten by struggling Valencia 2-1 at the Nou Camp on Sunday to deny the Luis Enrique's men the chance to extend their league on the log.
The only consolation in the game was Lionel Messi's 500th senior goal – means Barca are now only leading the way thanks to their superior head-to-head record against Atletico Madrid, while Real Madrid are only a point behind in third.
Rakitic – who diverted the opening Valencia goal past Claudio Bravo – is not worried, though, and expects Barca to turn their flailing fortunes around.
"We have to get together and win all the games that remain," said the Croatia international.
"The luck was in Valencia's favour, but the desire was ours. It was just that the ball didn't want to go in.
"We're sad for what's happened, but we're experienced and we must be together. Together, we'll win.
"We don't have any doubts about ourselves, but the dynamic isn't good and we have to change it.
"We had a clear chance at the end with [Gerard] Pique's, but it only underlined the bad luck that accompanied us in the game." Goal
