Ronald Koeman gave the team a break on Thursday after winning a tough game against Real and returned to training this Friday. Messi performed recovery exercises and his physical condition will be evaluated soon to see if he can play on Sunday or not.

In today’s training, the starters carried out a gentle training session , while the substitutes exercised more intensely in a session in which some Barça B players participated.

The team will travel to Seville on Saturday morning and will train at the La Cartuja stadium before facing Sunday’s game with the first title of the year at stake.
