Challenge to fight against Athletic

A new difficult challenge for Xavi Hernandez’s team. The Blaugranas celebrate the new League Day in the football cathedral. With three points between them, Barça will try to get another win against a high-level team: Athletic. The Basques are a strong contender and have just cemented their presence in the Copa del Rey final with a win over Atlético Madrid. A serious obstacle for the culé team, which strives to continue to show good dynamics in domestic competitions.

To do this, Javi Hernandez has all the first team players available, with the exception of the already known absences of Marcos Alonso, Balde, Gavi and Ferran. Without foreseeing any incidents, the coach challenged 22 players to a duel in San Mamés: Ter Stegen, Joao Cancelo, R. Araujo, I. Martinez, Pedri, Lewandowski, Rafinha, Iñaki Pena, Joao Felix, Christensen, Fermin, Romeu, Vitor Roque, S. Roberto, F. De Jong, Gundogan, Kounde, Lamin Yamal , Kochen, Kubarsi, Mark Giu, and H. Fort.

Last training session before the trip to Bilbao.

Ahead of the trip to the Basque Country, the Blaugranas put their boots back on for a final preparation session ahead of the championship clash. As usual, the existing first team players trained at the Tito Vilanova camp in the Joan Gamper sports town. Kochen, Kubarsi, H. Fort, Marc Giu, M. Casado and Sergi Dominguez of Barça Athletic also completed the session.
