Whistles from Barça dressing room as Real Madrid's 'luck' continues

Whistles from Barça dressing room as Real Madrid's 'luck' continues

The players met to watch the Champions League draw and weren't surprised when they saw Napoli's name

Barcelona's players met in the gym to watch the draw for the Champions League. Players and coaches joined together after Monday's training session to follow the FIFA event which was unfolding in Zurich. 

Gerard Pique was in charge of proceedings, although this time he didn't have time to organise the traditional sweepstake between the first team players. His jokey commentary softened a draw in which Real Madrid's pairing with Napoli was one of the more expected moments. 

When the name Real Madrid came out and was paired with the Italian side, whistles and boos rumbled around the Barça players. Zinedine Zidane's side had once again avoided the tougher tests, such as Juventus. 

Even a member of the Barça staff highlighted that Napoli were the rival with the lowest UEFA coefficient among those Madrid could have drawn. In any case, another 'Groundhog Day'at Barcelona's training ground when it came to witnessing more Madrid luck in the draw.
