Barcelona star Lionel Messi will train at Real Madrid‘s training ground ahead of Argentina’s friendly with Spain on Tuesday.

The fixture will be held at Atletico Madrid’s home stadium, the Wanda Metropolitano, but Argentina are training at Madrid’s Valdebebas ground in the build-up.

However, the team will stay at the same hotel Barcelona use when playing in Madrid, after they arrive from England on Saturday.

Messi’s Barcelona are 15 points ahead of bitter rivals Madrid in La Liga and more or less guaranteed to win this year’s league title.

The team trained at Manchester City‘s training ground ahead of Friday’s friendly with Italy, with the Premier League club having been linked with an audacious move for Messi in recent months before he signed a new Barcelona contract in November.
