Barcelona trained this Monday with their sights on the Champions League and 'El Clasico'. A busy week for Barca and they definitely need to get results after the loss to Getafe. 

Koeman prepared a training session with technical exercises. The youngsters showed their boldness and Riqui Puig and Konrad were given taps on the back of the neck for being too slow in a "rondo". 

Barcelona are expected to have a much more tactical session on Tuesday before Koeman's first Champions League match as the coach. That is against Ferencvaros. 

The Catalans will return to Champions League action for the first time since losing 2-8 to Bayern Munich in Lisbon. The Germans went on to win the trophy. 

The contest will be the final one before 'El Clasico' on Saturday. After the 'Clasico', we could see Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi face each other in the Champions League next week. That is providing the Portuguese is over his coronavirus.
