Back at work, focused on Alavés

It's time to turn the page following defeat in Hamburg to Shakhtar Donetsk, and no better way to do that than by beating Alavés at the Estadi Olímpic this Sunday at 4.15pm CET. After that, there's another international break.

Xavi Hernández gathered the troops this Friday morning at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper after giving them a day off on Thursday, with all the available players working out on the Tito Viilanova field. Saturday brings the final session before the game with the Basques.
