On Thursday morning, the team held a training session at the Ciutat Esportiva following their 0-2 victory in Madrid on Wednesday evening. The eleven starters at the Bernabeu held a gentler session focused on recovering from their efforts the night before, while for the rest, training has been more intense.

Thursday’s session was marked by the relaxed atmosphere present in Sant Joan Despi. It is not every day that the team wins 0-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu in the Champions League semi-final first leg. In this session, which also saw Abidal continue his recovery work, the training alternated between recovery work and a more intense session.

Joining the first team were four players from Luis Enrique’s B team squad: defender Montoya, midfielders Thiago and Sergi Roberto, all three who traveled to Madrid, and goalkeeper Masip. 

The team will return to training on Friday at 11 am in what will be the last session before the league match at Real Sociedad (20:00).
