Barcelona unveil new training method inspired by Leicester City’s 2016 triumph

• Hansi Flick has added cryotherapy to his team’s training regime to help players recover and perform better
• Cryotherapy uses very low temperatures, such as ice baths or cold pools, to reduce swelling and pain.
• This injury prevention treatment involves using extreme cold to freeze and eliminate dead cells, while strengthening and toning tissue.

Barcelona are set to unveil new training technology in the hope of reclaiming the La Liga and Champions League titles from Real Madrid next season.

The Catalan giants won La Liga in the 2022/23 season but failed to defend their title last season.

Their title defense started badly, as they lost the Super Cup to Real Madrid.

Barcelona’s trophy hopes were further diminished by their elimination from the Copa del Rey in the quarter-finals, where they were defeated 4–2 by Athletic Club.

Their biggest setback came in the Champions League, where they were knocked out by PSG in a disappointing 4-1 defeat after reaching the quarter-finals, according to the club’s official website.

This added another trophyless chapter to the season.

After a disappointing campaign, Barcelona parted ways with manager Xavi Hernandez and recently appointed former Germany boss Hansi Flick as their new manager.

Barcelona to adopt Leicester-inspired technology

Although Flick has only been at Barcelona for a few months, he is already making significant changes.

According to Diario AS, the former Bayern Munich coach plans to incorporate cryotherapy into the team’s daily routine.

Cryotherapy, which uses extreme cold to reduce inflammation and speed muscle recovery, is designed to prevent injuries and speed recovery time.

This method contributed to Leicester City’s Premier League triumph in 2016, as reported by Tribuna.
