All set. Barça trained this Saturday on the Tito Vilanova pitch at the Ciutat Esportiva in their final session before heading to Galicia to face Celta Vigo. The culers, who will travel on Sunday morning, have now completed their preparations for the twelfth game of the domestic championship, which will be the last match before another international break, and the final one until March.

Under a cloudy Barcelona sky, the morning session included all available first-team players, although Jules Koundé was unable to finish training, as Hansi Flick later explained at his press conference. Also taking part were Dro, Tommy Marqués and Mamadou Mbacke, along with goalkeepers Diego Kochen and Eder Aller from Barça Atlètic.

After training, the players were given a few hours’ rest and their final night in Barcelona before travelling to Vigo on Sunday morning for the 9.00pm CET kick-off. Afterwards, most of the squad will join up with their national teams.
