Gallery: Tuning up to take on Sevilla!

Ahead of a flight to Seville on Monday afternoon, City's players took the opportunity to train at the CFA this morning.

Pep Guardiola‘s side begin our UEFA Champions League campaign against Julen Lopetegui’s Sevilla side on Tuesday evening.

While the Andalusian capital is known as the ‘frying pan of Spain’ because of its incredibly warm temperatures in excess of what can be expected further north, Manchester enjoyed its own day in the sun on Monday.

That created the perfect conditions to put the finishing touches on preparations to face the side that finished fourth in Spain’s La Liga last season.

The players even had new kit to wear, decked out in the fresh new UEFA Champions League training range!

After that, it was straight to the airport for a flight to the south of Spain.

Take a look below at the best images from the day...
