Recovery session after Atlético win
Xavi Hernández's team workout at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper following the La Liga victory in Madrid on Sunday
No rest for the Barça squad as they trained on Monday morning at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper in what was a recovery session following the 1-0 win over Atlético Madrid on Sunday in the Cívitas Metropolitano stadium in La Liga.
The training session saw all the available players present on Monday plus Fabio Blanco from Barça Atlètic, the penultimate workout before the squad fly out to Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Betis on Thursday at 8.00pm CET. Should Barça prevail against the Andalusians then in Sunday's final they will meet the winners of the other semi-final which is between Real Madrid and Valencia.
