El Clásico is now the focus, with a key player exercising with the team on Thursday.

FC Barcelona players returned to work on Thursday morning with a different goal after doing their homework in the Champions League and beating Shakhtar Donetsk 2-1. The thing is large.

On Saturday at 4.15pm CEST, El Clásico against Real Madrid offers the potential to surpass the all-whites in the rankings.

The team met at the Ciutat Esportiva this morning to recoup from the previous night’s efforts and start planning for one of the biggest games in football. Today, Xavi Hernández was pleased to see Raphinha, one of several key players out injured, participating in various workouts with the group.

Since September 29 and the Sevilla game, the Brazilian has been out. U19A team goalkeeper Áron Yaakobishvili and midfielder Quim Junyent joined Barça Atlètic players who had been called up for first team duty the night before (Héctor Fort, Marc Guiu, Pau Cubarsí, and Marc Casadó).

Eusebio Sacristán, a Dream Team member, visited today’s training and chatted with Xavi Hernández and Joan Barberà afterward.
