Back to training after beating Osasuna

After a 1-0 win over Osasuna on Wednesday, the FC Barcelona players were straight back on the training ground at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper the following morning as they begin preparations for the next task, which is Alavés on Saturday.

There was more cheerful mood than there has been the last few days, following the nasty loss at home to Villarreal and the news that Xavi has decided to stand down from his post as coach when the season ends. There's nothing better than a win to get the spirits up, and there is an air of confidence that the team are going to get another three points this weekend (kick-off 6.30pm CET).

All of the available players were there this morning, as were Astralaga, Kochen, Marc Casadó, Cubarsí, Hector Fort, Dani Rodríguez and Pau Víctor of Barça Atlètic, with the main focus being on post-match recovery and getting ready for yet another game just two days from now.
