Messi _ Ibrahimovic - Barcelona
Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola is continuing the preparations for Sunday's showdown with Real Madrid, and has been boosted with the conditions of Lionel Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

According to Marca, the duo trained normally alongside the rest of their team-mates on Friday. After going through a regular warm-up, they were both involved in the various exercises that Guardiola employed from the start of the session.

It is a huge boost for the Blaugrana, as there were fears earlier in the week that neither player would be available for el Clasico.

Dani Alves also picked up a knock in the Champions League clash with Inter, causing him to train separately earlier in the week. However, barring any last minute setbacks, he will also be available for the clash.

While Barcelona were training today, they were paid a visit by Henrik Larsson, who played for the club from 2004-06. The retired Swedish striker watched the team go through their paces before exchanging a few words with his former team-mates.
