A night after playing a sold-out show in the Catalan capital, the 17-year-old singer suited up to train with the Spanish champions at their Ciutat Esportiva training ground and even had the opportunity to take part in a quick game with some of the players afterwards.

Bieber looked anything but nervous as he had a kickabout on the pitch wearing the club's green training kit.

Unfortunately for him, the chance to test himself against stars like Lionel Messi and Xavi never came to fruition so he had to be content with likes of Thiago Alcântara, Bojan Krkić and Andreu Fontàs as well as a couple of B-team players.

As Barcelona's website reports, Bieber showed "surprisingly decent skills with his left foot."

The Canadian sensation was invited to train with the Catalan giants after he was spotted wearing Barça's famous colours during a kickabout on the outskirts of Madrid earlier this week.
