Málaga CF left the Costa del Sol airport at 10:05 this morning and landed in Barcelona at 11:30 a.m.  Following a series of stretching exercises, the team is now enjoying lunch at Hotel Santos Porta Fira, and will remain there until two hours before the match.

The group is headed up by Club adviser, Francisco Martín Aguilar; director general, Vicente Casado; and sports director, Mario Husillos, accompanied by the coaching team and the 18 called-up players.  Ultimately Sergi Darder didn’t make the cut, and Fabio Espinho takes his place.

The Blue and Whites are up against FC Barcelona at the Nou Camp from 8:30 p.m., and will return to Málaga on a charter flight following the game.
