The FC Barcelona first team returned to training on Thursday after two days of rest, with the focus now solely on the crucial title-decider on Saturday. Luis Enrique’s men take on Granada away from home (5.00pm CET) knowing that a victory will secure the league trophy.
Barça can claim a domestic double this campaign, with the Copa del Rey final against Sevilla taking place next Sunday. Mascherano says “winning the league and cup would be very important”. The defender also praised the team spirit: “We have a great squad, with incredible people. We always have it clear in our minds that we are going out there as a team and we must continue working as a unit.
