With just one more week to go, Barcelona are on their way to get the rhythm back. On Saturday, June 6th, the squad trained at Camp Nou and not at Ciutat Esportiva where they usually do.
The session ended with a 45-minutes-long 11 vs 11 match between the Yellow team and Gray team. Here's everything you need to know.
Yellow team: Neto; Chumi, Pique, Araujo; Alba, De Jong, Arthur, Vidal; Collado, Suarez, Saverio.
Gray team: Ter Stegen; Roberto, Lenglet, Umtiti, Cuenca, Firpo; Busquets, Puig, Rakitic; Braithwaite, Griezmann, Fati.
Interestingly, both teams played with three centre-backs.
Note: The Gray team's starting IX looks suspicious as Mundo Deportivo have listed 12 players. For now, it's not known whether this is a mistake from the outlet or they played with one more man.
Considering that the Gray have three central midfielders, it's possible that Quique Setien rotated between Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic and Riqui Puig.
The Yellow team is said to have won the game 3-1 thanks to the goals from Luis Suarez, Kike Saverio and Gerard Pique. Martin Braithwaite scored the consolation goal for the Gray team.
Check out Luisito's goal. Also, good work from Frenkie De Jong:
It has been reported that Barca trained on Camp Nou at the request of Quique Setien. The boss thinks that the players need to adapt to playing without fans as well as to the size of the field (the pitch at Camp Nou is bigger than that at their training ground).
Leo Messi and Nelson Semedo did not take part in the match as they did special work.
