"In the build-up to La Liga matches, whether played at home or away, Barcelona usually follow the same routine. A morning training session at 11 am is held, followed by a press conference from Flick to address the media at 1 pm. In the Champions League, there are usually some changes, as the structure and organisation of the competition require it."
"However, ahead of the final league match of the year, which Barcelona will play at La Ceramica against Villarreal this Sunday, the schedule will also be slightly different. The training session, normally held in the morning, will be moved to the afternoon, taking place immediately after the German tactician's press conference, which will take place at its usual time. The reason for this change is that, once the training session at the Ciutat Esportiva has finished, the team will board a plane."
FC Barcelona will travel to Villarreal to play at Estadio La Ceramica in the final La Liga match before the mid-season Christmas break. Villarreal are described as injury-riddled while Barcelona aim to preserve their healthy lead at the top of the table. Manager Hansi Flick will alter the usual pre-match routine by keeping the press conference at 1pm and moving the morning training session to the afternoon. After the afternoon session at the Ciutat Esportiva the squad will fly to Castellon and spend Saturday night there. The 4:15pm Sunday kickoff necessitates traveling a day early to avoid setbacks.
