Miracle needed for sextuple - FC Barcelona's

Miracle needed for sextuple - FC Barcelona's uncharacteristic collapse at San Mamés not only means the club's chances of lifting the Spanish Super Cup hang by a thread, but a possible sextuple now seems rather far-fetched. Lifting half a dozen trophies had become the target in the Barcelona dressing room in a bid to emulate Pep Guardiola's historic 2009 side. Barring a momentous comeback on Monday at the Camp Nou, Barcelona's hopes of accomplishing that feat will soon be extinguished. Having won La Liga, the Copa del Rey, Champions League and European Super Cup, 'Los Culés' faced the Spanish Super Cup as the next obstacle on their path towards the sextuple. The thrashing dished out by Ernesto Valverde's troops, however, means Luis Enrique's side's chances of emulating the 2009 team look slim at best. The Camp Nou will need to generate a magical atmosphere in order for Barcelona to travel to Japan in December for the Club World Cup with a chance of bringing a sixth title home for the trophy cabinet.
