Recovery session in the rain with the cup around the corner

After the draw against Espanyol in La Liga on Sunday, Barça begin a new week with the main objective being a place in the final of the Copa del Rey. Ernesto Valverde’s team travel to Mestalla on Thursday for the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final tie with a 1-0 advantage from the first leg last week at Camp Nou.

The first team squad begin preparations at the Ciutat Esportiva on a rainy Monday morning in Barcelona with all the available first team players plus R.Tarín, R. De Galarreta, Samu Araujo and Dani Morer from the B squad. The squad will have a day off on Tuesday this week before returning to training on Wednesday.
