Three Barcelona stars train at club facilities despite Flick granting rest day

Barcelona suffered their first defeat of 2025 earlier this week as they lost 3-1 to Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League.

Despite the loss, the Blaugrana made it through to the semi-finals of the competition on aggregate score, having beaten the Germans 4-0 in the first leg last week.

Following their return from Germany, the players took part in a light training session on Wednesday but were granted Thursday day off by manager Hansi Flick.
