Lionel Messi and his teammates will not participate in the FIFA Best Player awards ceremony on Monday.
The club informed about it in a public announcement.
It stated that a delegation made up of club administrators will represent the Catalan team, while the team's players will stay at home to prepare for the return leg of the King's Cup match against the Bilbao team.
In the first meeting, there was an unfortunate defeat of 1:2.
It was previously predicted that the title of the best FIFA player would go to the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 31-year-old Portuguese was awarded the "Golden Ball" a few weeks ago.
