The Catalan capital was painted in blaugrana as Barcelona’s players embarked on a marathon victory parade through the streets of Barcelona, lasting almost five hours to celebrate their two titles this season—La Liga and the Supercopa. The open-top bus departed from the Spotify Camp Nou at 5:20 PM and reached its final destination at 10:00 PM, winding through the city’s main avenues despite it being a working day, with crowds packing every corner.
At the rear of the bus, Raphinha, Koundé, and Eric García guarded the two trophies, while up front, Polish duo Szczesny munched on food throughout the journey and Lewandowski waved an estelada flag for several minutes. Lamine Yamal stole the spotlight by displaying a Palestine flag and showing off dance moves, also wearing a shirt that read “Thanks to God for not being a Madridista.” Defender Cubarsí, enjoying his second parade as a player, said, “I couldn’t come to see any of these as a kid, but now as a player I’ve already done two—I’m enjoying it with all these people who came. We are a team that wants to do great things for this club.” He was also spotted sharing a snack of fuet with Gerard and Casadó.
Fans tossed items toward the players hoping for autographs, with many players sporting sunglasses throughout the route. Popular songs from the Spotify Camp Nou, especially “Dia de Partit,” were sung by both players and supporters. Goalkeeper Joan García, experiencing his first parade, remarked, “It’s really cool—you see people running alongside, throwing things for you to sign… it’s so much fun.” Frenkie de Jong added, “The connection with the fans is very strong. This team is hungry, there are many things we want to win, and the Champions League is still ahead.” Lamine Yamal summed up the mood: “We have to value every title we win because there have been very bad years.”
Despite losing his father early Sunday morning, coach Hansi Flick was on the bus waving to the crowd and receiving their affection. Beach balls flew from the stands throughout the route. The players wore special T-shirts reading “Una manera de ser, una manera de ganar” (A way of being, a way of winning) and danced and sang nonstop during the long journey. The parade was a vibrant celebration of a successful season, with the Champions League still within reach.
