Football fans, “soccer” players, a 10 hour flight and a city: Barcelona. The children of BAA could not leave the Catalan capital without knowing the Camp Nou and enjoying the spectacle to see FC Barcelona in action.
The team of Bermuda could admire and observe in two matches some of the world’s top players like Messi, Neymar, Iniesta or Luis Suarez. On Tuesday December 16, they went to the Catalan Coliseum to watch the Copa del Rey facing Barca against Huesca, a team of Second B League.
It was an amazing show with a lot of goals. FC Barcelona destroyed Huesca by 8 goals to 1 with Pedro Rodríguez scoring a hat-trick in the first half. Sandro and Adama both homegrown also scored.
But the experience of Bermudians and the Camp Nou did not end here. On Saturday 20, after playing two games in the Powerade Cup in the morning and just before playing their fifth game of the tournament, the boys and their families returned to Camp Nou to see the league clash against Cordoba CF.
Again, a lot of goals against the Andalusian team. Pedro, Luis Suarez, Piqué and Messi twice left the score at 5-0 favorable to the Barcelona team.
Form Bermuda to Camp Nou to see 13 goals live in a unique atmosphere in an amazing stadium. Surely this will be a photo that will be kept well-guarded.
