The football first team is now in Mallorca, having arrived there a little after 11.30 am. They were met by a crowd of around 500 fans who chanted “Champions!” as the players came out of the airport terminal.
The League Champions are now in Mallorca, where this evening they play at the Ono Estadi in their first match after clinching the League title. The squad, featuring a significant number of Barça Atlètic players, went straight from the airport to their hotel.
Enthusiastic reception
The Barça party travelled to Mallorca this Sunday morning onboard a
10.30 flight from El Prat airport. The team, which has now won Barça’s 19th League title, was
given an enthusiastic reception on their arrival at Mallorca airport.
Festive atmosphere
No-one wanted to miss out on the chance to see the new League champions up close. Around 100 airport workers greeted them off the plane, and as they left the terminal 500 Barça fans were there to chant “Champions!”
