Barcelona have enjoyed a strong start to their La Liga campaign, maintaining a perfect record through their opening fixtures.
Hansi Flick’s side have impressed with their attacking intensity and resilience, showing no signs of the inconsistency that plagued parts of last season.
Fans have been quick to praise the blend of experienced campaigners and emerging youth in the squad, giving optimism for the challenges ahead both domestically and in Europe.
Off the pitch, the Catalan giants are continuing to focus on player fitness and recovery, ensuring the squad remains in peak condition for a packed calendar.
Yet even with these measures in place, a small group of the club’s top stars have gone above and beyond expectations this week.
According to reports from Diario Sport, four Barcelona first-team players reported to the club’s training base on Monday, despite having been given the day off by Hansi Flick.
The quartet — Pedri, Robert Lewandowski, Inaki Pena, and Ferran Torres — turned up at the Ciutat Esportiva for individualised workouts, demonstrating their professionalism and commitment to maintaining peak condition.
This is not the first time Barcelona stars have trained on their day off.
This comes after Barcelona’s thrilling 3-2 comeback victory against Levante on Saturday, which saw the Blaugrana overturn a two-goal deficit at the interval to extend their flawless start to the 2025/26 season.
Flick had rewarded the squad with a two-day break following a recovery session on Sunday, yet the four players chose to use the time to further their fitness and work on specific aspects of their game.
Their dedication has not gone unnoticed by fans, with social media buzzing over the commitment of Barcelona’s key figures.
In particular, Pedri and Lewandowski have been central to Barcelona’s attacking success, while Torres’ speed and directness on the wing continue to trouble opposition defences.
Inaki Pena, meanwhile, has been sharpening his skills as a reliable option between the posts.
Such voluntary sessions underline the professional culture Flick is fostering at Camp Nou, where individual responsibility and team cohesion go hand in hand.
With the season still in its infancy, these small acts of dedication could play a major role in helping Barcelona maintain their strong start and sustain their challenge across multiple competitions.
