On Tuesday night, Newcastle United take on Portuguese giants Benfica at the famous Estádio da Luz, and Eddie Howe's side prepared for the game in Lisbon on Monday.
The Magpies had already enjoyed a productive training session with Burnley on Saturday at the Portuguese Football Federation's Cidade do Futebol, and returned to the same venue on Monday for some more hard work.
But it was clearly enjoyable too, with the positive momentum from the end of last season continuing into the current pre-season campaign. United will look to take that into Tuesday night's glamour friendly - when they will compete for the Eusébio Cup, live on NUFC TV - and club photographer Serena Taylor brought nufc.co.uk this gallery from training.
