Cristiano Ronaldo and Raul are kicking a ball about.
But they're not at Real Madrid's football stadium but the Campus Party, one of the world's biggest online entertainment events, and they're not the real football stars but their robot versions.
The robots are the result of months of work for the students of Braga University in northern Portugal.
Around 800 IT enthusiasts are taking part in Campus Party, which lasts until Sunday and is aimed at sharing ideas, experiences and all types of activities related to computers, communications and new technology as well as showcasing new talents.
Some of the projects are just for fun, but some are serious.
The 20 best ones are to be presented to a jury.
Deborah is a regular at the Campus Party, which began in Spain in 1997 and was held last year in the Mediterranean port of Valencia.
For this year's event, she has spent five months transforming her computer work station into a sort of enchanted forest.
The screen is encased in a tree trunk and covered with a mesh of leaves, with birds in a little cabin on the branches and mushrooms alongside the keyboard.
Matthias said he drove 1,500 kilometres to show off his toaster-computer.
Other projects are more serious, and even educational, such as that of Naima and a group of students from the Paris region.
Tomas, a 27-year-old Chilean, has developed a programme to find stolen computers.
