With the super cup clash against Madrid only days away, Barcelona boss Pep says his players should get their act together after 1-4 thrashing by Chivas in friendly Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola felt his side's 4-1 friendly defeat to Guadalajara in Miami was a "wake-up call" as they sharpen up for the start of the new season. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2011/aug/fabian.jpg" border="5" /> Guadalaraja's Omar Esperarza (left) heads the ball away from Barcelona's Gerard Pique during a friendly in Miami yesterday. Barcelona lost 1-4. PIC/AFP The Spanish and European champions took an early lead through David Villa but a quickfire Marco Fabian brace just after the hour mark put Chivas in front, and goals from Giovanny Casillas and Ulises Davila sealed the win. It was the team's second consecutive pre-season defeat having also lost to English champions Manchester United in Washington DC at the weekend, and with the Spanish Super Cup first leg against Real Madrid coming up on August 14, Guardiola admits there is plenty for his team to do in the next couple of weeks. "When you lose 4-1 it shows that you are lagging behind," the Barca boss told fcbarcelona.com. "We played badly. When a team wins 4-1 against us it is time to fix things. "We have the game. What we need now is the competition." He added in quotes carried by marca.com: "We'll have to change our mentality as soon as possible. This defeat is a wake-up call. "The Spanish and European Super Cups are very close and we have to get our heads right. What makes the difference is the mentality of the players. We need time that we do not have."
