Leo Messi Nutmegs Gerard Pique in Barcelona Training

With their late-season "crisis" now a thing of the past, Barcelona are in training for this weekend's Liga visit to Real Betis, as they look to edge closer toward the defence of their domestic crown.

Manager Luis Enrique's men watched on this week as league rivals Atletico and Real Madrid took part in the Champions League semi-finals, but it doesn't look to have dented the spirits among the Blaugrana too much.

Star forward Leo Messi was at his cheeky best in training this week; executing a perfect nutmeg on defender Gerard Pique—to the delight of his team-mates.

More of that on Saturday night, please, Leo.
