Football stars Lionel Messi, Neymar, Rafinha and Luis Suarez are the ones that make she girls swoon but pop star Justin Bieber stole the show on his visit to Barcelona's training base last Monday.

The 22-year-old "What Do You Mean" singer is in Barcelona for his European tour preparing to perform at the city's Palau Sant Jordi arena this Tuesday night.

Ahead of the performance, pop superstar made a surprise appearance at Barcelona's training center where he met the attacking trio who are known to be threats in football.

The Biebs was put through his paces by Brazil duo Neymar and Rafinha ahead of the club's Champions League tie versus Celtic. It was definitely a memorable experience for Bieber.

In the European giants' Snapchat account, Bieber was seen to be taking part in different drills as Luis Enrique's side gear up for Wednesday's battle.

The session started with Beiber going in between the goalposts, but Rafinha did not really take it as a challenge, beating him with a striking left-footed shot.

He might have been defeated by a football superstar but it is a great day to play a game with a living legend. He even posed for a picture with Brazilian forward Neymar which was photobombed by Rafinha.

Just last month, Bieber had his fanboy moment training with the Manchester Storm ice hockey team for a practice session and he even scored a goal.

It was all happy moments for Bieber since last week was emotional for him - based on the observance from his fans. The singer appeared to cry in a Frankfurt Germany show last week.

It's not really the first time everyone saw Bieber cried onstage. The singer went emotional after his "comeback" performance at the 2015 MTV VMAs. He later said that he cried because he was welcomed back by his fans.
