Two goals from Federico Bernardeschi consigned Luis Enrique's men to a 2-1 defeat at Fiorentina on Sunday, meaning they have now lost three games in a row.
Rakitic, who provided a great assist for Luis Suarez's goal, attempted to take positives from the match and is certain the club will soon return to winning ways.
"The team always want to win and in general we performed very good against Fiorentina," the 27-year-old told reporters after the match.
"We could have scored more goals but it wasn't to be today, though it's more important we turn up in big games.
"The most important thing right now is we return to our usual rhythm and gain confidence, as it always is in pre-season."
Next up for Barca is another clash with Italian opposition, this time at Camp Nou, as they face Roma in the annual Joan Gamper trophy on Wednesday.
Then on August 11 they kick off their competitive campaign when they take on Sevilla in the Uefa Super Cup.
