Final session before trip to Celtic

FC Barcelona trained on Monday at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper to prepare for their trip to Glasgow where they will face Celtic on Match Day 5 of this season’s Champions League group stage. The session saw all the available players take part plus Marlon, Paik and Mujica from the Barça B squad.

Luis Enrique’s squad take on the Scottish Champions on Wednesday at 8.45pm CET at Celtic Park, never an easy ground to visit. In five official visits in UEFA competition, the blaugranes have picked up three wins and two defeats.
