The match against Atlético de Madrid will be the last match of 2024 for FC Barcelona.
The Catalans will host Diego Simeone’s men at the Montjuic Stadium tomorrow night, hoping to close the curtain on 2024 on a winning note.
However, there appears to be a noticeable change in their routine once tomorrow’s top-of-the-table match against Mattresses It’s done.
Hansi Flick changes things
As MARCA reports, unlike previous years, the Barça squad will not take a vacation immediately after the match in Montjuïc.
In fact, after the match with Atlético de Madrid, there will not be a mass exodus of players rushing to the airports towards their holiday destinations.
Instead, coach Hansi Flick asked the players to report to the training ground on Sunday for a light recovery session.
Flick has decided to delay the start of his rest by one day, as he wants to evaluate the players the day after the game.
They will undergo various analyzes and fitness tests, which are carried out periodically to monitor their physical condition.
With a demanding schedule ahead, the squad will only have a few days to disconnect. They are scheduled to return to training at the end of next week.
On December 29 there will be open training and on January 4 they will face Barbastro in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey. A trophy that the club and the team really want to win and that they cannot leave aside their aptitude.
Just four days later, Barcelona will play its first match of the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia against Athletic Club. If they win the semi-final, they will face the winner of Real Madrid vs. Mallorca in the final on January 12.
In January, Barça will also face Getafe and Valencia in La Liga, as well as Benfica and Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League. The demanding schedule leaves no room for complacency and Flick is determined to keep his players in top physical condition.
