Neither the Argentinian nor the Brazilian will play against the Alsatians but the two stars participated together in all the warm-up exercises offered by Mauricio Pochettino's staff.

Were present during this session 29 field players and four goalkeepers, including the two direct competitors.

Keylor Navas and Gianluigi Donnarumma were escorted by Sergio Rico and Denis Franchi.

Messi and Neymar sprinted together in a workshop that involves building momentum by throwing each other shoulder to shoulder.

The two South Americans were in a circle with Kylian Mbappé, Achraf Hakimi, Julian Draxler, Georginio Wijnaldum or Rafinha.
