My trip to Barcelona- really short summary
Just a few photos from my trip to Barcelona. I was watching FCB-Sevilla game at Camp Nou and as you know we won 5-0 so it was lucky evening. Atmosphere there was extraordinary, weather was good (no rain! yay!), game was excellent, my fav players were playing, what I could ask more?
The other day I visited Camp Nou once again, during so called "Camp Nou experience" which is a museum and stadium tour, a lot of people, and only few hours (it was public holiday so museum was only open until 14). I spent there 3 hours, and it wasn't enough for me. So many trophies, wonderful things to see (like old jerseys, memorabilias) and one of a kind multimedia zone where you can experience many wonderful moments. I recomend visit there (at least 2 hours).
I also watched game FCB-FCK in bar near city center, cool experience, but too many Copenhagen's supporters around:P
Rest o my time in Barcelona I spent enjoying city, sightseeing and just wandering around.
Wuth special dedication to sinnet

Hi, I'm alive:P
ok there were no posts for more than a week, it's a long time, and there were so many interesting things, including 3 games, but let me explain that silence on blog. First of all, I was in Barcelona:P Well not all that time, but last 6 days. So I have no time for posting things here. I think there is no sense to post everything, just a little summary. And than I will post everyday like before my trip.

Sunday&Monday summary
After their win in Zaragoza, the squad were back in training on Sunday morning. One of the most important elements of this morning’s session was the presence of thirteen B team players, with Dos Santos, Nolito, Fontàs, Riverola, Benja, Thiago, Saúl, Rochina, O. Romeu, Miño, V. Vázquez, Edu Oriol and Bartra joining in with the first team squad.
Guardiola decided to give eight of his players –Puyol, Pique, Iniesta, Alves, Messi, Villa, Valdés and Busquets, a rest, but the last three decided to come in anyway and do some gentle recovery work, whilst Xavi and Milito also continued with their own treatment apart from the rest of the group.
Seydou Keita spoke after training on Sunday morning and stressed the good performances and results the team are putting in, whilst explaining how keen he is to start this season’s assault on the Spanish Cup. (read more -click)
Ten first team players and six from Barça B will make the trip to Ceuta on Tuesday as Barça open their Spanish Cup campaign. The Cup rules state that the squad must be 16 strong and a maximum of six non-first team players can be named. The trip to Ceuta will be unusual for the team, who will fly to Malaga, before taking a helicopter flight over into the African continent. The squad are due to touch down in Ceuta at 12.30.
The full list given by Guardiola this morning is: Pinto, Puyol, Abidal, Maxwell, Adriano, Mascherano, Keita, Bojan, Jeffren, Pedro, Miño, Bartra, Fontàs, Thiago, Dos Santos and Nolito. Seven first team squad players -Valdés, Alves, Piqué, Busquets, Iniesta, Messi and Villa -are still enjoying the short break Guardiola gave them after the Zaragoza game.
The squad for the Ceuta game, with the exception of Pinto who had the club’s permission to miss the session for family reasons, trained at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper this morning. In addition, Valdes came along and worked out with a coach, before joining the rest of the group, whilst Xavi and Milito continued with their own recovery programmes.
Barça begin their campaign to regain the Spanish Cup when they travel to the North African enclave of Ceuta on Tuesday and Guardiola commented: “It’s not a chore at all - I’m looking forward to the game, When you play a team you don’t know, you always pick up something new”. If you want to know what else Pep said at meeting with press click (here), pay attention to Pep's clothes and shoes (sorry for poor quality but couldn't find better pictures)

Game was really nice, Messi scored twice, NO INJURIES, Iniesta recieved standing ovation, players traveled by train:P and much more;)

and one more photo from train, posted by Pique: "From Zaragoza, on the train... with my Brother Puyi!!!"
Pique:"For sure, many asked which music Puyi was listening to on his Ipod... I asked and he told me that it was Shuarma!"
And game:
After game:
Pep at meeting with press:“it wasn’t easy to play such a serious game so soon after Wednesday’s Champions League game”. (click to read more)
Facebook Pique (23:40): "Hi, I'm home already! Very happy with the win. Zaragoza away is always difficult and today the team was very solid"
Facebook Iniesta (10pm): "We keep doing well, another 3 points. Many thanks to the Zaragoza fans for their applauses. Now the cup. Big hug!"
The squad has arrived in Barcelona about 11pm. The team bus brough them to the Camp Nou where their cars were parked.
Other news
Barcelona B lost their first points at home today: 0-1 loss against Huesca.
Luis Enrique (22:05): "This wasn't our day although I think a draw would have been more just. Congratulations to Huesca. Up to the next."
