The first team squad plus Iñaki Peña, Arnau Tenas, Ilaix Moriba and Mingueza from Barça B went through their paces in Seville to get ready for Saturday's final against Athletic which kicks off at 9.30pm CEST.

The session took place with the backdrop of a huge banner behind one of the goals that reads "Sempre Culers! Sempre amb vosaltres"  (Always Culers! Always with you!) that will inspire the players and make them feel the fans are there with them even though the game is to be played behind closed doors.

Team photos 

After the training session and before Athletic came out on to the field, the coaches and captains from both sides posed for the traditional photograph. Ronald Koeman, Marcelino García Toral, Leo Messi and Iker Muniain were the figures representing both clubs. 

All that remains is the final itself for which Barça will be wearing a specially designed shirt as they aim to lift the Copa del Rey for the 31st time in their history.
