Training at Volksparkstadion

FC Barcelona are in Hamburg ready for their Champions League game with Shakhtar Donetsk, in which, after winning all three games played so far, they only need a draw to be sure of qualification for the last sixteen of the competition.

Due to the war in their country, the Ukrainians are playing their home fixtures at the Volksparkstadion, where they lost their first game, 3-1 to Porto. 

Shortly after arriving in the German city, the players made their way to the ground for a session on the same pitch where they will be playing at 6.45pm CEST tomorrow, knowing that will be facing a stern test against a side that proved very hard to beat a fortnight ago at the Estadi Olímpic (Barça eventually edging it 2-1), and who know that anything but a win will put their own last sixteen chances in serious jeopardy.
