Johan Cruyff paid his first visit to watch the FC Barcelona squad train at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper on Friday morning in his role as the club’s honorary president.

The Dutchman is a regular in the presidential box at Camp Nou during matches, but has rarely been seen at training sessions since his time as head coach drew to a close. Now he has accepted the invitation of Pep Guardiola to see the players put through their paces ahead of the trip to Sevilla.
