Barcelona trio Sergio Busquets, Sergi Roberto, Ivan Rakitic and Bayern Munich's Thiago Alcántara shared a private flight after Spain's game against Croatia on Tuesday.
The three Spanish internationals, as well as the Croatian midfielder, arrived at El Prar airport in Barcelona just after midnight.
All four players were keen to get back and take as much advantage as possible of the days they have before domestic football returns this weekend.
Busquets, Sergi Roberto, Rakitic and Thiago did not even pass through the mixed zone to speak to the media after Spain's 6-0 win in Elche.
Instead, they had a private vehicle pick them up and deliver them to the local airport so they could board their flight to Barcelona.
It was a flight which served to analyst events at Elche's Martínez Valero home, with Busquets and Sergi Roberto helping Rakitic get back on track ahead of Saturday's league game at Anoeta against Real Sociedad.
