Barça around the world

Foot­ball is a global busi­ness. We all know that. And Barcelona is Cat­alo­nia's great­est am­bas­sador to every cor­ner of the world. We all know that, too. The proof of it cold be seen this sum­mer, when Barça went on tour to the US, and in their very first ap­pear­ance the team broke a record. The friendly en­counter of F.​C.​Barcelona against Los An­ge­les Galaxy in Pasadena, Cal­i­for­nia, is now of­fi­cially the match played by an Amer­i­can team with the high­est at­ten­dance in soc­cer his­tory. It had to be Barça. It at­tracts fans from dif­fer­ent coun­tries, lan­guages and cul­tures, united by a unique way of un­der­stand­ing this sport. Long live Barça!
