After the exciting first stop in Miami, FC Barcelona’s US tour experienced another memorable episode in Las Vegas thanks to the joy and blaugrana madness of the supporters’ clubs. In this case, the occasion had the special attraction of the Clásico against Real Madrid, and the blaugrana family reacted in style.
The first big event took place on the eve of the match. The Penya Blaugrana Las Vegas (FCB World Federation) organised a meeting which was attended by more than 200 people. Among them, there were members of other American supporters’ clubs such as PB Los Angeles, PB San Diego, PB San Francisco, PB Miami-Dade or PB Fresno. Also the Mexican PB Un Crit Valent Puebla, and even PB Tenerife (Federación de Canarias) where there. All of them shared a very special evening attended by a large FC Barcelona representation: vice-presidents Rafael Yuste and Elena Fort, and board members Josep Ignasi Macià, Xavier Puig, Joan Soler and Àngel Riudalbas. Barça Legend Juliano Belletti also joined the party.
Clásico with a culer flavour
The blaugrana madness of supporters’ clubs in Las Vegas could not have had a better culmination, thanks to the team’s 1-0 victory in the Clásico against Real Madrid. All the aforementioned supporters’ clubs were present in the stands of the Allegiant Stadium, but they were also joined by other entities of the FCB World Federation. PB Kerala, who came from India, was one of them. Thanks to all of them, Xavi Hernandez’s players once again felt the warmth of their fans.
