The Barça training session at Sant Joan Despí on Thursday morning was all about getting the players back in shape after their Champions League exertions as they turn their minds back to their league commitments.
Hours after their sensational victory over Shakhtar Donetsk, it was time to think about recovering.
Some did so in the gym and others took the field at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper.
But the players also have to start thinking about their league game with
Almeria at the Camp Nou on Saturday at 20.00. Carles Puyol did specific work in the gym and Éric
Abidal continued in isolation, working with a fitness coach.
Four reserve players joined the session today: goalkeepers Oier and Miño, midfielder Thiago
and striker Benja.
