Barcelona were said to be in crisis in January after losing to Real Sociedad and Lionel Messi was said to be at logger heads with head coach, Luis Enrique.
Sporting director, Andoni Zubizarreta was sacked and the club called for a Presidential election in the summer.
With all these controversies coupled with Real Madrid on a winning streak, Barcelona's season was already over.
But in came WhatsApp(the instant messaging app for smartphones) which came to rescue Barcelona's season.
According to a report by Spanish newspaper, Diaro Sport, senior players, took to the messaging platform to revive themselves.
On a day off training, on January 6, two of the senior players sent a message to the squad's WhatsApp group which reads; "If we continue like this, we will not win anything this year.
"We cannot go another season without anything," another player replied.
These messages, according to the Diaro Sport report were what spured the players on to embark on a winning streak which saw them launch an assault on La Liga, Copa del Rey and the UEFA Champions League.
Barcelona
yesterday were declared Spanish Champions, and with two finals to
come, the squad is on the edge of another historic treble.
All thanks to WhatsApp!!!
