52: Rising Stakes
The morning after the hard-fought draw against Atlético Madrid, the atmosphere in the Barcelona B camp was a mixture of satisfaction and determination. The players were pleased with the result, but they knew that a long, arduous season awaited them.
La Liga was unforgiving, and while the point they had earned was a positive start, it was clear that there would be no easy games.
Liam, as usual, was one of the first to arrive at the training ground. He had spent the night replaying the match in his mind, analyzing every moment, every decision.
While he was proud of how the team had performed, he couldn't shake the feeling that they could have done more. The equalizer had been a well-crafted goal, but they had also missed a few opportunities to snatch a victory. He was determined to ensure that they would be more clinical in the future.
