The Turkish Airlines plane arrived at El Prat airport at 12 from Dallas, with the players in a positive mood after winning the final game of the tour, against Club America, 2-0. The team were immediately transferred to the airport, where their plane was waiting to take them home.

Ten day tour over

Barça have been in North America for ten days, visiting the cities of Washington, Miami and Dallas to play exhibition matches against Manchester United, Chivas and Club América, where they have also taken part in several high profile social and promotional events.

Back to work

The players left for America on July 26 straight after playing in the Audi Cup in Munich, so it is some time since they have seen their homes. On Monday, the South Americans Messi, Mascherano, Alexis and Adriano will be joining them for training at the Ciutat Esportiva. There will be two sessions at 9.00 and 19.00, both behind closed doors.

The team will also train on Tuesday at 19.00, but without the players that are away on international duty.
