Barcelona sports chief Txiki Begiristain took advantage of their presence in Munich to run his eye over Bayern star Franck Ribery in training yesterday.

Ahead of tonight's Champions League clash, Begiristain took a seat in the stands to watch Ribery, a target for Barca, during the training session.

The sports director was accompanied by first team coach Paco Martinez, along with two other club officials, as they watched Ribery go through Jurgen Klinsmann's training drills.
