All set! The preparations for El Clásico are complete. The Barça squad trained on Saturday morning at the Ciutat Esportiva just hours before travelling to Madrid, where the much-anticipated clash with Real Madrid is happening on Sunday at 4.15pm CET.

The main news from this final session was the return of Jules Kounde, who trained normally with the group. With the Frenchman back alongside his teammates, Barça brought their pre-Clásico preparations to a close ahead of one of the most eagerly awaited games of the season.

Last season, facing Madrid was synonymous with joy (four wins out of four), two of them bringing trophies. Now, in the fifth Clásico of the Flick era (which he will have to follow from the stands) the team will look to produce another memorable performance. All of it, to the rhythm of Ed Sheeran’s Play.
