Alexis Sanchez looked raring to go ahead of Arsenal's FA Cup final against Chelsea on Saturday - a match that could be his last for the North London club.
Arsenal missed out on next season's Champions League following a final-day tussle with Liverpool for fourth place in the Premier League.
But there appeared to be little hangover from that disappointment among the Gunners squad as they prepared for the Wembley clash on May 27.

Sanchez, in particular, seemed in high spirits during the session – pouring water over his head, taking his top off and performing acrobatics for the camera.
The forward looked to be taking full part in the session, despite suggestions from Arsene Wenger that he faces a race to be fit for the cup final.
'Knowing the player, knowing his character and knowing his commitment for the club – he will make everything to be fit for Saturday,' Wenger said.
The clash with Chelsea could be Sanchez's last for the club, with his future in North London increasingly uncertain.
