Training for trip to Santiago Bernabéu

On Tuesday, the FC Barcelona players were back at the Ciutat Esportiva, where after a mainly recovery-focused session on Monday, today everyone's minds were totally and utterly on the next challenge.

And that challenge is the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, this Thursday at the Santiago Bernabéu, home of Real Madrid. The venue for today's workout was the Tito Vilanova field, where the first teamers were joined by Ángel Alarcón of the U19A squad.

Once the cup fixture is in the past, there only be two full days before the team will back at it again, this time in La Liga against Valencia at Spotify Camp Nou.
