Barça coach Xavi Hernández and his Espanyol homologue Vicente Moreno have met in the traditional managers’ meeting ahead of Sunday’s derby at 9.00pm CET.

The venue was the RCDE Stadium, setting of the game this weekend, where the two bosses posed for photographs together on the pitch and took the time to have a chat about the forthcoming encounter. Barça won the meeting earlier this season, Xavi’s first ever game in charge, 1-0 thanks to a Memphis penalty.
