Fútbol Club Barcelona has left behind the euphoria for their triumph in LaLiga against Real Sociedad (2-1) and is now focusing all its efforts on the Champions League. The squad led by Hansi Flick trained this Monday at the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper in a recovery session with their sights set on the European clash against París-Saint Germain this Wednesday, October 1.
The starters in the league match performed regenerative work, while substitutes and non-called up players, including Lamine Yamal and Alejandro Balde, completed a more intense session. Three vital points against the Donostiarras served to regain the lead in LaLiga EA Sports, but the team is already thinking about the challenge of the top continental competition.
Barça-PSG: key week for Barça
FC Barcelona faces a decisive week with the visit of PSG in the second matchday of the Champions League. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 1 at 9:00 p.m. at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.
The culé fans hope that the team will once again star in a great European night under the orders of Hansi Flick. However, it will not be easy. The French team, coached by Luis Enrique, arrives at the match with the intention of storming Montjuïc and confirming their status as current European champions.
Lamine Yamal and Balde, ready for the European challenge
The presence of Lamine Yamal and Alejandro Balde in training is one of the best news for the German coach. Both trained normally, leaving behind the physical problems they had been dragging in previous weeks. Their contribution will be key to face a rival of the level of PSG.
Lamine Yamal offered the Kopa trophy to the Montjuïc crowd. He could not start against Real Sociedad, but Flick turned to him with the score at 1-1. The young azulgrana star returned after missing the last four games due to injury. He came on for Roony in the 57th minute. And he came onto the field, faced up, put in a measured cross to Lewandowski and... Barça goal!
The Champions League week is already underway. Barça is training with their minds set on a major challenge, aware that every detail will be fundamental to continue in the top continental competition.
