Thousands of fans greeted the players as the bus—decked out in the club’s red and blue colors with the word “Champions” on the sides—wound its way through the city.
The players later were introduced one by one before a packed crowd of more than 90,000 fans
at Barcelona’s Nou Camp stadium, with coach Pep Guardiola carrying the trophy onto the field.
Lionel Messi, who scored in the 3-1 win at Wembley on Saturday night, told the crowd: “I don’t have much to say other than to thank you all for your support during this amazing year. Hopefully, there will be many more to come. Long live Barca and long live Catalunya.”
The parade came hours after street parties turned violent early Sunday. At least 18 people were hospitalized and more than 80 arrested after revelers attacked officers with bottles, flares and other objects, and destroyed park benches and bus stops. Source
