Preparations for the return of LaLiga continue!!!

Penultimate training session at the Ciutat Esportiva prior to the trip to the Martínez Valero Stadium to play Elche

The men's first team have been working hard to get everyone up to speed after the international break. LaLiga is back with the trip to Elche and it is a chance to continue where they left off, when Franck Kessie scored the goal in added time to win the Clásico at the Spotify Camp Nou.

Penultimate session before the Elche game

Xavi Hernández and his coaching staff put the team through their paces in their penultimate session before the game at the Martínez Valero stadium (01/04 9.00pm CEST). Currently bottom of the table, Elche will be hoping to get something out of the leaders, who in turn will be looking to at least maintain their 12 point margin over Real Madrid.

The session took place on the Tito Vilanova pitch at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper and featured every available first team squad player, including those back from international duty, plus Casadó and Estanis Pedrola from Barça Atlètic, and youth players Garrido and Ángel Alarcón.
