Not before making the group’s picture. Prepared and ready to get on the bus bound to TSH Campus Marina.
With expressions of joy, the young players began to realize that they were finally in Barcelona and a few hours away from seeing their idols like Leo Messi and Gerard Piqué in Camp Nou. And a few hours away to start training with one of the best clubs of Cataluña… Definitely, they were already living the B1 experience.
