Lisbon Gallery: That Friday feeling!

There was a spring in City's collective step on Friday as the squad finalised preparations ahead of Saturday's Champions League quarter-final against Olympique Lyonnais.

Pep Guardiola and his players have been hard at work in Portugal for the past five days as the countdown draws ever nearer to our last eight date with the French side.

It’s a huge game, but there was no disguising the positive mood and camaraderie among the squad during Friday’s session.
