For
David
Villa
, it was his first training session as a Barça player, almost three months after moving
from Valencia. The eight Spanish internationals posed for a photo before the session got underway
– eight Barça stars who reached heaven in Johannesburg.
A warm welcome home
The group was given a warm welcome by their team-mates and coaches, including Pep Guardiola,
who greeted them one by one.
18 from the first team, 14 from the reserves
In total, 32 players took part in the session – 18 from the first team and 14 from the
reserves.
Bojan and Jeffren are still absent with Spain under-21s. In addition, Belarus international
