First full session at Ciutat Esportiva

It was not an ordinary Thursday at Can Barça. For the first time this preseason, Hansi Flick could count on all his available players for group training, with the squad taking part in a morning session at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper.

Spanish Super Cup set for Istanbul

Should Barça retain the Spanish Super Cup for a third consecutive time, the 2027 edition will be played at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey. The first competitive tournament of the 2026/27 season is scheduled from 2 to 7 February 2027.

Squad situation updates

According to Mundo Deportivo, Jules Koundé has been informed of his situation in order to make a decision. The defender wants clarity on whether a change of position towards the centre of defence is being considered after Ronald Araujo’s departure and Eric’s change to right-back.
