Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick made use of the opportunity to send some encouragement the way of on-loan Blaugrana starlet Héctor Fort on Sunday.
This came after Fort was afforded the chance to face off with his parent club.
Barcelona are fresh off securing a return to winning ways, after putting newly-promoted Elche to the sword by three goals to one.
Defender Fort for his part featured from the bench in the fixture, for just his 4th appearance of the La Liga campaign.
The 19-year-old was of course allowed to depart Catalunya’s capital over the summer, after failing to establish himself in the immediate plans of manager Flick.
Still considered a future prospect behind the scenes in Barcelona, though, Fort appears to remain on good terms with the club’s headmaster.
As showcased below, post-match at Montjuïc, the versatile full-back enjoyed a brief conversation and warm embrace with Flick:
