Coach Míchel confirmed his presence yesterday as starting goalkeeper at Camp Nou, in what will be his LaLiga debut. Coincidentally, the former Espanyol keeper now returns to Barcelona as a Malaguista.
Mario Husillos is also premiering his return to the Club during his first trip as the new sports director. Vice president Nasser Al Thani is heading up the expedition, and will represent the Entity at Camp Nou.
20 players have travelled to Barcelona, with three goalkeepers in the line-up and Miguel Torres in doubt. The team will remain at hotel NH Sants until hours before kick-off, when they’ll head to the stadium. Following the match, the expedition will return to Málaga in the early hours.
