Recovery session at the Ciutat Esportiva
On Thursday morning, Barça held a training session at the Ciutat Esportiva where the players who took part in the Champions League match sought to recover from their exertions as the whole team turns their focus to Saturday’s match with Almeria.
Hours after the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Champions League, the players who participated in the sensational 5-1 win against Shakhtar Donetsk have undertaken the task of recovery, some on the pitch and others in the gym at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper.
At the same time, the team has begun to prepare for the next game of the season, when they’ll face Almeria at Camp Nou on Saturday at 20:00. Carles Puyol spent today’s session doing specific work in the gym, while Eric Abidal has continued to take some mild exercise outside.
Rounding out the group were four players from the reserves: keepers Oier and Miño, midfielder Thiago, and forward Benja.

Come on Abidal my man, what happened to him? He will be CRUCIAL against Inter counter game.
I prefer reaching the CL final.What if we win the 1st game( 16 Apr) and get eliminated by Madrid ? Who will remember it .CL is the most important cup in Europe.At the end of the season they'll be happy and we'll be unhappy even if we'll win the La Liga.
Puyol must be back for real madrid clashes
I totally agree with you. Poor Leo. When he's scoring (or trying to) goals, everyone calls him selfish. When he's making beautiful passes and assists, he gets criticized for not scoring. He can't seem to win with some people. The guy is a phenomenal player– and more importantly– a team player. It's not just about numbers. Critics need to watch him more closely and learn to appreciate what is so special about him.
Puyol needs to be fit asap… Bottom line we need him fit and ready…… For the 4 el clasico to come…
I need Puyol seriously at this period of the season.
Haha ja eller hur!
