Meet Estadio do Drago for the first time. Before their second game in the Champions League on October 4 (at 9 p.m. CEST), the FC Barcelona players had a practice on the Porto field. 

Xavi Hernández acknowledged as much in the press conference preceding the Porto vs. Barça match. The likes of Deco, tor Baa, and Costinha have graced their roster, and they have won the Champions League.

Before the second matchday of Europe’s greatest club championship, the available blaugranas stepped foot on the pitch against a backdrop of blue seats and a dragon on the crest. A place filled with blaugrana pride (and a portrait of Leo Messi) where the Catalans will be hoping to add another three points to their tally in the 2023/24 campaign. 

That concludes Barça’s last session of preparation for their upcoming Champions League match.
