Kari posted celebratory photos yesterday. Here is another photo memorial of the entire game. We hope you enjoy. I’m sure there will be a review up later, but does it really matter through the champagne anyway?

Why would Shakira buy 10 sets of a picture with no Pique in it? :p
You echoed my thoughts!
Because she loves the team so, duh sauce.
Good reason!!!
Pep’s bad back might be due to being thrown in the air several times a year for the past 3 years.
Am I the only having trouble to find Puyi in the picture?!
Did our captain feel undeserving or smth due to his lack of playing time?
🙁
if i remember correctly, Puyi was a bit late coming down from the steps and also ended up conversing with someone ta the back of the group and seemed to kinds forget that the pic was being taken then
Close the italics tag after the credits, Everything is in italics now..
Anyone have the celebrations vid?
Great picture!
btw, Sky Sports post match analysis would be very appreciated 🙂

The fact our boys dominated on English soil in front of the usual elitist commentators made the victory all that much sweeter! Ahh, I can’t believe we’re witnesses to this generation of talent. What a blessing.
Does anyone know where I can stream the game on replay? I can’t wait to watch this again!
Awesome Photos!
Does anyone have the streaming site for the celebrations happening today! Definitely gotta see it!!!
VISCA BARCA!!!!!
BARCA CAMPEON!!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, Eric Abidal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4BWNQLZBOY
Awesome
Thanks pilar, that was fantastic.
I can’t concentrate on anything but Barca today!! Campeones, Abidal playing and then lifting a trophy, MVP goals, Dani’s jokes, team spirit, Pep’s enthusiasm,….
Great pics, Luke!! They descibe everything that is rolling in my mind.
Visca el Barca, the best team in the world!!
New favorite goal celebration: Messi’s reaction after Villa scored last night.
XAVIIIII!!!!! Where’s Xavi? When is he getting off the bus????
/always appropriate
😀
Why? You wanna talk to him? 🙂
I downloaded a 27gb version of the 2009 final..
I wouldnt mind downloading a 100gb version of this match if there is one out there *looking at you JNice* 😆
Oh, did anyone find a SKY HD broadcast that is 4gb and above?
I found one but it’s only 3.2gb, not good enough 😆
You’re registered on fbtz, so look here: http://fbtz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=179712
10gb release.
The commentary is Sky, but the pre-grame, halftime, and post-match are FSC.
Top performers last night in numerical order;
1) Messi
2) Pique
3) Iniesta
4) Xavi
5) sMasch
What about Busi? He was brilliant! I’d put him in over Pique.
Everyone had a great game, though.
Same. I thought Busi was top 3 last night. He’s smooth.
Buquets was top 2 for me, his short passing is brilliant. His game is unbelievable.
Busi was the MOTM OTM (other than Messi).
Yep, match review can wait. Let the champagne of pictures and comments an links continue. Here spanish Press synopsis: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/may/29/spanish-press-barcelona-pantheon-greats
Here’s the parade!
http://www.fcbarcelona.cat/web/english/locucio/btv_en_directe.html
Xavi perched at the back of the bus like the Boss he is. 😀
^Yes! Xavi is so awesome!
You can follow the celebrations live here!
http://www.fcbarcelona.cat/web/english/locucio/btv_en_directe.html
Anyone else worried that Villa might fall off the bus? He looks pretty loaded!
I’m waiting for Drunk!Messi to make a return!
Kari – I can’t watch the celebrations. Please, please try to find/upload a video of the bus and camp nou celebrations when you find the time.
Thank you!!!
No problemo, I’ll look around fbtz afterwards. 🙂
Check out http://www.tv3.cat tomorrow. They will probably have the full videos there, they did for the Liga celebrations.
Ah. That was on my mind too, but I couldn’t remember the exact site! Moltes gracies!
Jeffren rocking sunglasses. Xavi directing the celebrations from his perch at the back of the bus. Gosh, I <3 Xavi so much.
Barcelona B playing in an empty stadium, poor things. Everyone is at the parade or the Camp Nou.
Thiago is cracking me up! He’s like, “Yeah, I could get used to this.”
😀
That guy really likes Pedro, no? 😆
There is a Boixos Nois banner at the B game. They love Lucho, apparently.
I love when they show the players from inside the bus. Messi and Masche are just chillin’, sippin’ their Estrella Damms and taking it all in.
Valdes is p*ss drunk. Messi is (disappointingly
) sober.
Pedro!! and Iniesta are just sweetly looking off in the distance, sometimes trying to party but aren’t as crazy as Pinto, Valdes, Dani and Pique. 😆
I think Masch is a little smasched too! 😛
Guardiola in jeans….MMMMMmmmm!!!!
GOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!! Benja!
It’s sad that they have to play and no one gives a fudge. But yay! They’re winning!
Even barcastuff isn’t paying attention. 😆
Aww, Busi is so animated. He look so happy. *tear*
Oye! Gerard! Stop spraying innocent people (read: Bojangles and Xavi) with champagne!
YEAH! Our handball team Barca Borges just beat EE’s handball team in the final!
Feel free to use this as your wallpaper, y’all:

barca B up 1-0, goal by Benja!!
Man, Dani looks like a pimp.
How dare you! Dani has his own unique sense of style! 😛
Him and Jeffren obviously shop for sunglasses together.
Is there some significance to the suitcases the handball team is celebrating with???
Ooooh, Jnice won the barcastuff quiz! Keener! 😉
You know how I dooo
Must be such a good time to be from Barcelona, eh? Their handball team, basketball and football team are killin’ it. They must be so proud. I would be too — actually, scratch that. I am proud. 😀
Also, watching Messi’s goal again, I love his wild celebration. That grey mike thing on the ground never stood a chance. 😆
My favourite bit was Busi’s flying tackle on the corner post to celebrate, I think it was Pedro’s goal. He was lucky, he could have got a card for that. 😆
GOOOOOLLLLLLLL Soriano!!!!!!! 2-0
Salamanca is going down.
Soriano’s on fiyah!
Scoriano! 2-0
Slow mo Abi-Puyi hug was shown in a video playing at the Camp Nou. *dies*
Salamanca goal.
*sad face*
I wonder if Villa’s gonna sing again.
Sigh, I wish I lived in Barcelona. /wistful smile
If you’re wondering why they keep showing Sabadell, it’s because the football club has been promoted to the Segunda from Segunda B. And they are Catalan, obviously.
And they don’t like us very much. Apparently.
I actually looked up Sabadell, because I was so confused. 😀 Yay for Sabadell!
Aw, Puyi wearing a shirt to support Miki Roque.
Heeeeerrrrreeeee they come!
Villa! OMG!
Messi is so arrogant. Everyone else jogged out but he casually walked.
You’re kidding, right?
ALVES@ AHAHAHAHHAAH!!!
LOOOOOOOOOL Alves moc moc!!!
AHH!! This is the best part! 😀 😀
LOL I love Alves so much
Another gol for Soriano, not that I’m really watching. 3-1
Messi speech time!!
ABI ABI ABI ABI
GOLITO! 4-1.
Pique hitting back at all the haters – we don’t take drugs, we don’t pay the refs, we just play football.
I really hope someone can post translations of the speeches!
😀
Pique. Future capita, I swear!
Aren’t the rest of them going to speak?
I guess not. Only the people who promised to talk after the 28th had to.
Yeah, only a few spoke before they started celebrating again.
Not enough drunkeness.
I wonder if they’re going to broadcast Shakira’s concert too. 😆
Thats it Messi!
I knew he would cop out, yo. He’s Messi, he doesn’t do emotional speeches. His one-liners are boss, though.
Dudes, are you rushing for Shakira? Bleh. They should broadcast that concert to make it up to us!
Job well done, boys! Now go have a nice rest, regrow some hair (Pep), and enjoy yourselves. 😀
Hmm, so I missed the celebrations again. Convalescence sucks 🙁
Hehe that MAD dude from the Inter offside:
Handling in the area no penalty – someone goes up to Mesi shoulder to shoulder gets a caution… anyone remember any game we have ever played against JuBentus?
Barcelona are just like them… I think that’s why we hate them so much. They are like JuBe from the Moggi years… always getting help.
The only real difference is that Barca get to win a Champions League final every now and again…
Even some of the Inter fans had to admit he was being ridiculous. Gotta love it. 😀
Thanks for the video jnice!
Great little detail from MAcherano to Liverpool fans
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaytRHO7_wI&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
😀
Yup. That was the best moment during the match. He went to Villa after that. And there’s no doubt that Villa and Xavi are best buds. Absolutely love it!
Great video!
Hmm, it seems Berbatov hasn’t taken a liking to SAF’s snub. He’s reached the last year of his contract, so we can get him on the cheap. If he were to leave, I don’t think ManU would mind as long as he doesn’t go to a direct rival. He’s good in the air, got good feet, and doesn’t mind sitting on the bench. What say?
Berba is a luxury player. He is even more nonchalant than Ibra. definitely not one for us. Got good skills though.
Nonchalant as in lazy?
Quick recap on the speeches:
Guardiola: “everyone spoke in the last celebration, everyone but this guy, let’s hear what he has to say”
Messi: “I don’t really have anything to say” (LOL)
Abidal: thanks Puyol and Xavi for their gesture towards him
Iniesta: “My heart tells me there’s nothing better than being a cule”
Valdés: “there’s something missing here” (ties catalan flag to the Spanish League cup). “Now everything is fine”
Piqué: “A friend of mine said this to me, he told me, you have to say this, so I’m gonna say it. We don’t take drugs, we don’t dive, we don’t buy the referees, we just play football”
LOL Messi. He looked so so happy yesterday when he was walking down with the cup, I hadn’t seen him that happy in a while. I think last year’s World Cup exit took a bigger toll on him than we think, and yesterday’s match was his redemption (to himself, of course).
Thanks for the translations Pilar
Cheers for this!
I know this is a bit late, but I didn’t see this in any of the post-match (liga) celebration videos. It is insufferably cute.

Apparently, five of our players wanted to swap shirts with Scholes yesterday. Iniesta won the race.
Scholes looked so weird wearing Iniesta’s shirt 😀
That is actually quite adorable. I know Xavi was one of the others.
According to the person who tweeted that, it was Pique, Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, and Pedro.
Oops, Busquets, not Pique.

This is very welcoming to read when some other club fan blogs would have written about conspiracies, blah, blah
http://therepublikofmancunia.com/quick-reactions-to-defeat-against-barcelona/
How can you feel too disappointed with a result when you know it was the right one?
There isn’t anything we could have differently which would have resulted in us winning last night. I’m sorry if that comes across as negative and defeatist, but we’re not in the same league as Barcelona, nobody is.
Refreshingly honest. Props to ManU, both the players and the fans. It was an excellent game and they should feel proud they played as well as they did.
And in case anyone cares, Barcelona B beat Salamanca 5-1 today! They currently sit in 4th place with one more game to play and could get up to 3rd if they win next week and Granada loses or draws. Well done to them! Luis Enrique will be very happy with that, especially since mean old Pep kept stealing his best players. The future looks bright.
Good luck to Lucho wherever he ends up (Roma?)!
I’m loving all the media plaudits we’re raking in now for two reasons. One because I think we do god damned deserve it. The boys put on a spectacular season and deserve every single bit of praise they get. And two because ultimately Mourinho’s plan to get the world to hate us has failed miserably. Now even our rivals talk about us in awe.
AW YEAH, FEELS GOOD MANG
My favorite part is that the press now says “No team in Europe could beat this Barça.” meaning.. nobody cares they (EE) won the Copa del Rey.
