Barca Buzz: The Team's In LA!

Barca's plane arrived in Los Angeles earlier today! "Australia" was the in-flight movie the lads enjoyed during their twelve hour flight, also biding their time by playing cards or catching up on their sleep.

The team had departed yesterday from El Prat Airport in Barceona, and the people there just wouldn't leave Ibra alone. He ended up posing for no less than 135 photographs - before running away to buy a PSP game to entertain himself during Barca's flight.

The three cups of Barca's treble - Liga, Copa, Champions - traveled with the team in special cases. They will be put on display during each of the three matches Barca will play in the U.S. - oh, we are flaunting this treble, aren't we? Campeones, campeones, olé, olé, olé!

After landing the team went straight to their hotel in Beverly Hills, before later heading off to training. The session was a short one, only 35 minutes long, mainly just stretching and jogging to loosen up the players' muscles and battle jetlag. Iniesta trained apart from the group, still recovering from his injury, while Ibrahimovic can't train yet because of his arm and looked on from the sidelines, also having a long chat with sports director Txiki Begiristain.

What interests us though is that a cheerleading competition happened to be taking place at the same time on nearby pitches - they couldn't have been any distraction to the boys, could they?

Right, who are we kidding. We all know that though Pique's body was on the team's pitch, his eyes were on the other...
