BARCA, BARCA, BAAARCA!! This year the fabled FC Barcelona including Lionel Messi won the UEFA Champions League, again. Not only it is their 5th title (including one in the former Cup Winner's Cup), but Barca is also the first team ever to win the triple twice (League, National Cup, Champions League). Of course this had to be celebrated!
The magic place where supporters of the FCB celebrate their victories is the El Fuente de Canaletes, or the Canaletes Fountain, located at the end of La Rambla. The legend also says, that if you drink the water you will fall in love with the city and will always come back. Personally, I have already fallen deeply in love with the open-minded and possitive Spanish people and their culture, therefore there is no need for me to drink that water. Anyway, if the water at the fountain has the same quality as Spanish tub water, I would recommend not to drink it :-)

The next day, after a short night for us - and surely as well for the players - the city organized a huge parade through the entire city to celebrate the victory and to pay respect to the players. Some of them seemed to be a bit hungover, tho :D
The Camp Nou
Even if you are only partly interested in football, you should visit the stadium of the FC Barcelona, the famous Camp Nou. The best way to do is of course during a game of Barca. An alternative, if you don't want to spend as much money, you can enter the Camp Nou Museum and enjoy an amazing round view at the top of the stadium, as well as enter the Holy Grass. The following pictures should give you an impression.
That is it about football in Barcelona. See you next time.
Hasta pronto!
