Barcelona's preparations for their upcoming match with Arsenal were briefly interrupted on Tuesday, when three kids ran onto the pitch in the middle of a training session.

But rather than shepherd them away, the youngsters were invited to join the players as they went through some drills ahead of the UEFA Champions League last-16 second-leg tie on Wednesday.
