Hansi Flick, however, has been forced to improvise a starting eleven due to absences. Injuries have depleted the squad and have forced the German coach to make risky decisions. Among them is starting Dro Fernández from the beginning.

But not all the attention has been on the field. During the warm-up, an image quickly spread across social media. Thiago Alcántara, the club's latest signing, was seen with Barça's players.

Thiago Alcántara, after several months away, has rejoined Hansi Flick's coaching staff. His role is to serve as a direct link between the coach and the squad, facilitating communication and contributing his experience.

During today's warm-up, Thiago Alcántara was approachable, giving advice to the younger players and sharing thoughts with the veterans. His presence has been received as a positive sign of commitment. Although he hasn't sat on the bench because he prefers to keep a low profile, his influence is already being felt.
