Nobody saw that defeat coming out of the Copa del Rey, which was Alvaro Arbeloa's first game in charge.

Not a great start for him.

It was the training ground the next day, I think at 6.57am and said there was lots of work to do.

He was asked about it in his press conference.

He said, I've got a lot to do.

Yeah, maybe.

Jude's in the back.

Yeah, so it's not going to be easy for these players to come back either after that kind of atmosphere.

How does that affect players?

We saw how it affected Vinicius Junior.

He was in tears, it looked like, in the tunnel.

nine wins in a row it was before defeat against Real Sociedad.

And I actually don't know how they managed to lose the game.

I was at three disallow goals and overturned penalty.

25 shots and then Real Sociedad's keeper, who's actually Spain's third keeper, Alex Romero, made some incredible saves.

I think it was eight saves and a couple of really, really good ones.

But yeah, somehow Barcelona didn't win.

I think the fact that there was no Rafinha had a massive impact.

It's no coincidence that the five games they've lost this season, there was no Rafinha.

We were speaking about him and just how key he is.
