Football stars attend the Spanish Grand Prix as likes of Kylian Mbappe, Reece James, Joao Felix and Sergio Busquets rock up for the F1 showpiece in Barcelona… with Man City’s Aymeric Laporte arriving 24 hours after their FA Cup final win at Wembley
Aymeric Laporte has been spotted at the Spanish Grand Prix after appearing in Man City‘s FA Cup final win a day earlier.
The 29-year-old came on as a late substitute as City beat Man United 2-1 to keep their treble hopes alive, and has jetted to Barcelona on a well-earned day off.
He will likely be in training shortly, though, as Pep Guardiola’s side prepare for the Champions League final against Inter Milan.
Kylian Mbappe joined him at the track with PSG teammate Neymar, as the Frenchman was seen sporting a VIP lanyard and small Ferrari badge on his shirt.
Mbappe was also in action on Saturday, as PSG ended a title-winning season with a disappointing 3-2 loss to Clermont.

He finishes the season with 36 goals across all competitions, but will have to do without Lionel Messi next year with the Argentine legend set to leave Paris this summer.
Messi’s former teammate Sergio Busquets has also been seen at the race after receiving an emotional farewell following his final Barcelona game last week.
Chelsea duo Reece James and Joao Felix were two more football stars spotted at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, after Ben Chilwell and Mason Mount attended qualifying on Saturday.
Felix was seen chatting with Red Bull driver Sergio Perez, who will start in 11th after a disappointing qualifying performance.

It promises to be an interesting Grand Prix, with a mixed grid that sees big gaps between drivers on the same teams.
Max Verstappen is on pole, 10 places ahead of his teammate Perez, while Lewis Hamilton will start fourth after being moved forward one place following a grid penalty for Pierre Gasly.
George Russell sits 12th and was involved in a dangerous incident with his fellow Mercedes driver on Saturday, while Carlos Sainz joins Verstappen on the front line.
Charles Leclerc qualified 19th and will start in the pit line alongside Logan Sargeant.
