Texas heat blast welcomes Barça to Dallas

DALLAS, TEXAS — FC Barcelona's nine-day sojourn in Los Angeles came to a close on Friday when the team hopped onto their Boeing 787 for a midday flight to Dallas, Texas. As the team disembarked from the plane, the temperature on the DFW tarmac was north of 100º F (40º C).

Once at the team hotel, the players were greeted by throngs of rowdy Barça supporters, many of whom are in town to catch a glimpse of this weekend's main event: El Clásico.

Barça and Real Madrid square off on Saturday afternoon at AT&T Stadium. Kickoff is set for 4pm CDT (11pm CEST in Barcelona).

Barça will be in Dallas until Monday, at which point they will fly to Las Vegas for the final stop on this 2023 US Summer Tour.
