Letham Tangerines arrive from Glasgow early afternoon and are met at the airport by AMsports representative, Steve and Espanyol Coach, Marc Ventura.
The players walk to training whilst the parents take time to relax at the Hotel. The sun was welcomed by the group who are used to much cooler climates in Scotland!
The players meet Marc Ventura for the training session. Marc has played professional Futsal at a high level and is a top youth coach within the Espanyol youth set up.
The boys straight away get into technical work, a big part of the Spanish game.
Marc delivers a technical based session that the players really enjoyed.
The players cope with with the heat well as they stretch during the session.
After training, the group have time to relax. The Hotel Alimara provides a superb setting for the players and is also a fantastic hotel for the parents and adults of the groups.
The group then travel by metro to the restaurant, Muu Buffet. This is an excellent restaurant that provides the players with the energy they need for training and playing in the city. Its location is also very close to Camp Nou.
Tickets to one of the most important games for the current FC Barcelona team, Pep Guardiola's last home match in charge of club. A phenomenal atmosphere is expected...
The group are about to enter the stadium, along with 98,000 other people!
Superb seats at Camp Nou allow us to see the action and also see some of the players close up!
Messi scores his first goal!!!
Messi lines up another free kick...
The match ends and FC Barcelona run out 4-0 winners. Messi scores all four to take a step closer to winning the 'Pichichi' - Spanish Top Goalscorer!
The group are then present for the final farewell to Pep Guardiola. After four long years and many trophies won, he steps down as manager of Barcelona. An unforgettable experience for the group as they witness a piece of history!
