Bayern Munich are shining bright once more this season but that didn't stop their stars marvelling at a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Bayern trio Pepe Reina, Xabi Alonso and Juan Bernat took time out from TRAININGto gaze at the solar eclipse that happened on Friday.
Accompanied with the caption: 'Come to Germany Pepe !! What a pair of "smileys" hahaha ... but beautiful eclipse !!!' Reina tweeted a picture of he and his team-mates enjoying the rare event with a special pair of eclipse viewing specs.

Friday is set to be an important day for Pep Guardiola's side as they await the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals.
The German giants are the sole representative left from the Bundesliga following Borussia Dortmund's last 16 exit against Juventus on Wednesday night.
The Allianz Arena outfit could be drawn against defending champions Real Madrid - who dumped them out of the competition 5-0 on AGGREGATE in last season's semi-finals.
In contrast British clubs progression in Europe has been a bleak one this campaign - with no representatives left in either the Champions League or Europa League.
