Barcelona were back to training on Monday morning ahead of their highly-entertaining Champions League return leg against Chelsea.
There were smiles all around as Ernesto Valverde‘s squad first applauded Lionel Messi on the birth of his third child, Ciro.
Messi’s third son was born on Saturday, and was also the reason why the Argentine was left out of the squad that secured a 2-0 win at Malaga.
Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho got on the scoresheet for the Catalan giants as they maintained their 8-point La Liga lead.
Barca will host Antonio Conte‘s side on Wednesday with a slight advantage – an away goal scored by Messi himself as the aggregate stands at 1-1.
