Barcelona plans to take the entire squad to their Champions League away game against Atletico Madrid, including injured and suspended players. Coach Hansi Flick’s strategy focuses on building team spirit through full-group involvement.
The team will depart this morning at 10:30 from El Prat airport on a charter flight, arriving in Madrid around midday. They will then conduct a training session at the Metropolitano stadium, the venue for the upcoming match.
A press conference featuring Flick and young player Lamine Yamal is scheduled before training, emphasizing the importance of the encounter. Barcelona has previously won three times at this stadium under Flick’s management.
This decision highlights the coach’s intent to maximize focus and team cohesion at this crucial stage. Including players who cannot participate physically but still joining indicates psychological support within the squad.
Organizing the full squad's travel is a logistical challenge that demonstrates the club’s commitment to thorough preparation. For supporters, it reinforces belief in Barcelona’s strength and unity on their Champions League quest.
