Barcelona coach Xavi granted his players a day off on Tuesday.

Sport says the squad were able to enjoy their first day off from training after victory over Real Madrid.

On Wednesday they will return to work, but once the session is over, they will have four full days off, as they won't be back in their Barca training kits until next Monday afternoon.

In this way, Xavi wants to reward them for the effort they are making. The mental issue will be key in this decisive stretch of the season and having days off will make them come back with their batteries charged.

Bara's 12-point lead over Real Madrid in the league gives them a considerable margin, but in two weeks' time, every game will be a final and the coach wants them all to be on top of their game.

They will start with a visit to Elche, but then they will host Real Madrid in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals. Bara are looking for the treble (league, cup and Super Cup) this season.
