Some Barcelona players enjoyed a lighthearted game of virtual soccer ahead of Saturday's highly anticipated El Clasico against Real Madrid, relaxing and sharing a laugh while taking part in a "FIFA 16" tournament.

Six of the Blaugrana's first-team players were split into two teams of three, with Neymar, Jordi Alba, and Marc-Andre ter Stegen squaring off against Dani Alves, Arda Turan, and Claudio Bravo in a tournament featuring Barcelona taking on, you guessed it ... Barcelona.

Neymar's team took an early lead, scoring in the third minute, then doubled the score five minutes later. Alba scored a few more goals in the second half as the trio celebrated a 4-0 win over their teammates.

To complete the day, Neymar, Alba, and ter Stegen were even handed trophies commemorating their historic victory.
