It's not often that the Barcelona triumvirate of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar is embarrassed. They routinely dance and dazzle around the opposition, and while that's normally beautiful to watch. It's equally entertaining to see them on the receiving end of some tekkers.

Fortunately for fans of the latter, the "MSN" trio jumped into a rondo at Barcelona training on Friday. They were wildly unsuccessful in their efforts.

Slipping, sliding and generally flailing to try and pluck the ball away from their Barcelona teammates, the trio came up empty. The exhausted would-be tacklers were mocked and ridiculed by the rest of the Barcelona squad, with laughs all around. Gerard Pique had so much fun with the exercise that he had to shove Neymar to the ground, because he's Pique.

The jovial atmosphere at training is a promising sign for Barcelona, who will look to bounce back from their stunning 4-3 defeat to Celta Vigo before the international break. With Messi looking sprightly after an injury layoff, the signs are pointing positively. As long as Messi, Suarez and Neymar aren't counted on to do much defending, that is.
