Ahead of the Champions League Matchday 5 showdown against Chelsea, Barcelona have opted not to hold their training session on the opponent’s pitch.
Details: According to RAC1, the team’s decision is motivated by a desire to keep tactical plans under wraps and avoid revealing their game strategies. Real Madrid made a similar choice two weeks ago, skipping their session at Anfield for the same reason.
The Chelsea v Barcelona match is scheduled for November 25 at 21:00 Central European Time.
At the moment, Barcelona and Chelsea are level on points in the Champions League group, both with 7, with the Catalans only ahead on goal difference.
Reminder: Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has called Robert Lewandowski the best striker of the last decade.
