Villarreal welcomed a couple of of players back from injury in unusual style ahead of their Europa League clash with Liverpool.
The La Liga side have been put through their paces this week ahead of the first leg of their semi-final clash at El Madrigal on Thursday.
They have been boosted by the returns of Mateo Musacchio and Jaume Costa, who have been back in training after lengthy spells on the sidelines.
As a way of greeting, Musacchio and Costa were required to run a gauntlet at training, receiving taps on the back of the head as they made their way past their team-mates.
It is not clear yet whether the duo will be involved against Liverpool, but head coach Marcelino is hopeful his side can reach their first European final.
"It would be a very big achievement for Villarreal to get through to the final. It's what we're all dreaming about," said the Spaniard, who has been a beaten semi-finalist twice.
