And with the return of our Brazilian and English internationals from their Copa America and Euro 2020 heroics earlier this week, Pep Guardiola‘s squad is taking shape nicely ahead of the big kick-off.

Preparations continued to earnest at the CFA, as the players sharpen up for this weekend’s clash.

But while their focus and application was at a typically high intensity, there was still time for plenty of smiles during today’s session.
