The ‘Malaguista’ coach travelled the nearly 200 kilometres that separate the two cities, with the Blue and Whites staying at Hotel NH Collection until just hours before the match.

The expedition is headed up by Club advisers, Abdullah Ben Barek and Francisco Martín Aguilar, who are accompanying the coaching team and 19 called-up players, with one player being dropped from the list tomorrow.

This Saturday at 4 p.m., Málaga CF will take on Sevilla FC at the Sánchez Pizjuán stadium, the first match of the second round of LaLiga.  The team will later return to the Costa del Sol on the official ‘Malaguista’ Vázquez Olmedo coach.
