Barcelona changed their plans to fly to Prague at the last minute. During this 2025/26 season, the coaching staff has decided to hold training sessions before Champions League games with away trips at the Ciutat Esportiva João Gamper, so that the players can spend more time at home.
The decision allowed them to leave at noon and only hold a press conference at their rival’s stadium in their destination city. A few days ago, a trip to the Czech Republic changed everything.

Between Santander and San Sebastian, the coaching staff together with the players decided that the best option for Round 7 of the Champions League was to train at the Eden Arena in Prague.
Due to the temperature in the Czech city, everyone justified the trip for training early on Tuesday morning after the 17:30 press conference by Hansi Flick and Alejandro Balde.
During the session, the thermometer read -3 degrees Celsius, and the forecast for game time was -5 degrees Celsius. “It doesn’t matter. The players will run more that way,” the German coach said at a press conference with a sense of humor.
