A bunch of players were tested ahead of the Copa del Rey final

The Barcelona squad received the visit from the anti-doping agency AEPSAD at the training ground on Thursday, with the drug testers testing the squad.

Samuel Umtiti took a blood and urine test, while his team-mates Ter Stegen, Piqué, Andrés Iniesta, Messi, Paulinho, Jordi Alba, Digne, André Gomes and Vermaelen took blood tests.

Barcelona returned on Thursday to training to prepare for the Copa del Rey final against Sevilla (Saturday, 9.30pm CET), and Carles Alena trained with the squad. 

The Barcelona coach will likely take everyone to Madrid to prepare for the game.
