Training at the Estádio do Dragão

The blaugranes trained at the stadium to put the finishing touches to preparations for tomorrow's Champions League matchday two game

First contact with Estadio do Dragão. The FC Barcelona players trained on the Porto pitch prior to the Champions League matchday two game on 4 October (9pm CEST). 

As Xavi Hernández himself stated in the pre-match press conference for Porto v Barça, there is a lot of history in this arena. They are Champions League winners and have had such great players like Deco, Vítor Baía and Costinha.

With a backdrop of blue seats and a dragon on the crest, the available blaugranas set foot on the pitch prior to the second matchday of Europe's premier club competition. A setting with good blaugrana memories too, even with a photo of Leo Messi inside, and where the Catalans will aim to win another three points in the 2023/24 group stage. 

So, that was Barça's final training session before another Champions League game that grows ever closer.
