Barcelona (FCB).- It seems as if whenever Barça organise a trip to the United States, they end up winning the European Cup beforehand. Following their wins in Paris and Rome in 2006 and 2009 respectively, this year sees FC Barcelona again cross the Atlantic with soccer’s Champions League title under their belt after the win in Wembley in May.

After visiting Chicago and New York in 2008, Pep Guardiola made his debut as first team coach with a tour that saw Barça play in Los Angeles against The Galaxy, in Seattle against The Sounders and in San Francisco against Chivas de Guadalajara – ending with one win and two draws.
