Barcelona star Peter he had a clear message for his teammates after his 1-0 The League loss to Leganes.
The Catalan giants have now lost successive league games at home and end the weekend top of the table on goal difference alone Atletico Madrid.
With the gap now closed to zero points, Barcelona's clash with Los Rojiblancos on December 21 becomes vital as the league leader could change for the start of 2025.
Barcelona's slump in domestic affairs is a growing concern with just one league win in their last six home games.
In contrast, their Champions League form is superb, with five consecutive wins in Europe, and Pedri wants the team to channel this into the league in the second half of the campaign.
“We have to start the games better. When a team like that scores a goal away from home against you, they put a lot of players back in defense – but we still had chances,” as quoted by Marco.
“We have to be more clinical in front of the goal if we want to win games. We have to improve in the League, we had a bad run.
“We have many games in a row, but it is not an excuse. We have to finish the games with the same confidence that we have in the Champions League.”
If Barcelona win at home to Atletico Madrid, they will retain top spot at the start of 2025, but anything less could be possible. Real Madrid to beat them, if they fight Seville.
