Barça in its purest form in Miami

The 77 Sport Bar in Miami was the scene of a great Barça festival on Sunday, the first day of the blaugranes summer of the USA. More than 150 members of the Miami-Dade Penya Blaugrana met with a delegation from FC Barcelona to celebrate the club's visit to the Florida city. 

Vice president Juli Guiu and directors Josep Ignasi Macià, Xavier Puig and Joan Soler, as well as Barça Legend and 2006 Champions League Final hero Juliano Belletti formed the Barça delegation. The event began with a speech from Maurici Lladó, president of the Miami Penya who thanked the Barça representatives for coming and creating a real Barça festival atmosphere.

Belletti also spoke about his career as a player, taking special care to address the younger members of his audience, many of whom were from the Barça Academy PRO in Miami and who had also visited the training session in the morning. 

Josep Ignaci Macià also said a few words in the event which marked the start of the events lined up during Barça's summer US tour.
