Accustomed to open-top bus parades, supporters of FC Barcelona turned out in their hundreds of
thousands to greet the UEFA Champions League winners as they returned home.
Having celebrated their 21st Spanish Liga title in similar fashion just over a fortnight ago, the Blaugrana
this time meandered through the city proudly displaying the European Champion Clubs' Cup they
acquired at Wembley the night before by defeating Manchester United FC 3-1.
Joy and excitement abounded as a charter flight containing the victorious squad touched down at El Prat
Airport at 16.00CET, with coach Josep Guardiola and club captain Carles Puyol the first to emerge
from the plane, each gripping the world-renowned trophy as they made their way down the steps.
From there, the four-time winners of European club football's elite prize headed for the city's World
Trade Centre to commence a two-and-a-half hour trek through an estimated one million-plus crowd en
route to their final destination, an expectant Camp Nou.
