Fitness and ball work at Ciutat Esportiva

Under the stifling summer heat in Barcelona, Leo Messi, Gerard Piqué, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Sergi Samper continued their preseason preparations at the Ciutat Esportiva this Friday morning.

On their fourth day back at work, the quintet was once again joined by a group of Barça B players, in this case Sarsanedas, Morer, Ruiz de Galarreta, Mujica and Jandro for various exercises with and without the ball.

The week’s not over for the first internationals to report back for duty, as they’ll be back on the training ground this evening, and again on Saturday.
