But it's more a "winter training camp" than a warm weather one. Temperatures today in Barcelona hovered around 10 degrees Celsius - only about six degrees "warmer" than London.

Mousa Dembele shared a photo on his Instagram account of him having dinner with team-mates Michel Vorm and Jan Vertonghen.

It wasn’t until the 49th minute that City took the lead thanks to exciting German winger Leroy Sane.

Kevin De Bruyne’s lob from deep was met by Spurs goalie Hugo Lloris but the Frenchman inadvertently headed the ball against Sane’s hand, allowing the youngster to tap into an empty net.

Tottenham’s woes quickly doubled when De Bruyne helped himself to City’s second just four minutes later, with Lloris at fault again.

But Tottenham showed they weren’t ready to surrender just yet when Dele Alli scored his 12th goal of the season moments later.

Kyle Walker picked out the attacking midfielder with a terrific cross, with Alli’s header flying past Claudio Bravo into the back of the City goal.

Pep Guardiola showed his fury as the ref continued play and City soon paid the ultimate price as Son Heung-Min quickly went up the other end to score Tottenham's equaliser with a neatly curled finish.
