First on the pitch was Sevilla FC...

Then came the home team, FC Barcelona, to loud cheers and applause...

A star-studded line-up from FCB today, with the dream team of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar all playing that day.

The referee and linesman also jogged in step around the pitch to warm up...

Before the match, hidden sprinklers moistened the pitch...

Finally the players emerged, now in their match attire, and posed for photos before heading to their positions on the pitch.
