Very important event was Congreso de Peñas (Supporters' Clubs Congress) 2010. Sandro Rosell was present too. During his speech to the supporters' clubs congress president Sandro Rosell asked for a round of applause in honour of the club's coaches and players after winning the Spanish Super Cup and for the 1,547 supporters who were present. The Blaugrana president began his address by explaining that would speak in Spanish to allow fans outside of Catalunya to follow. "Catalunya is a respectful place and that is why I will talk in a language that practically everyone can understand," he said. (More you can read here)
At the same meeting David Villa and Adriano Correia were taken aback by the incredible reception that they were given at the Congreso de Peñas. Celebrating their 50th year the members were enjoying the event when the two new arrivals this summer paid a surprise visit and were met with a rapturous welcome at the Palau de Congressos de Barcelona. Accompanied the Head of External Relations at Barça both Villa and Adriano turned up along with the Spanish Super Cup trophy.
“Thanks for all your support,” Villa told the congress. “It is another example of why this club is so I want to thank everyone for the reception. I have only been here a short while, but I have been shown great affection and I promise that I will do all I can to pay you all back.”
Adriano also spoke to the fans. “It is a pleasure to come here and meet so many people who are devoted to Barça and to receive such a great welcome,” he stated. “When you join a club as big as Barça you really do notice it. We are delighted to see everyone and we hope to have a history-making season. We have started well and won the Spanish Super Cup. Like Villa I will give everything for these colours.”

Another important point in agenda was tribute to Gamper.President Sandro Rosell was joined by other board members as he offered made the traditional floral tribute to FC Barcelona’s founder Joan Gamper.
