Koundé's Absence and Alcántara's Farewell Draw Attention in Barcelona Training
The last training session of Barcelona before facing Valencia at the conclusion of the Spanish league for the 2025/2026 season witnessed several notable moments, most prominently the absence of defender Jules Koundé, along with the farewell received by Thiago Alcántara within the team's training session.
The Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo' reported that coach Hans Flick continued his preparations for the last match in La Liga, amid the absence of the injured duo Fermín López and Lamine Yamal, while Jules Koundé was also absent from the training. Flick is expected to reveal the reason for this during his press conference.
Before the start of the training session, Thiago Alcántara caught the attention after passing through a slap corridor from Barcelona players, a customary tradition within the team during celebrations or farewell moments, indicating the end of his journey within Hans Flick's assisting technical staff.
The same source added that Thiago, the former midfielder, was required to decide his position on continuing with the technical staff in recent days, before ultimately deciding to embark on a different experience away from Barcelona's technical team.
