Aleix Vidal target of Holy Innocents' Day practical joke

The Barça defender was the unwitting object of a not-so-intricately contrived prank at Monday's training session

With FC Barcelona nearing the end of another year of unrivaled success, the positive atmosphere surrounding the team has never been so loose. Case in point: during Monday's training session, several players stuck a tail on the back of their teammate Aleix Vidal as part of a humdinger of an Innoncents' Day prank. There were a few moments of unrestrained hilarity until Vidal finally grasped that it was, in fact, he who was the butt of the joke.

The spontaneous howler was a priceless start to the team's first post-Christmas training session with Lionel Messi, who spent his Sunday not on the training pitch, but at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai.

Humour aside, Barça can now get serious about wrapping up a historic 2015 on a winning note.
