Trophy parade in Barcelona

9:50 am on 30 May 2011

Barcelona players have taken the club's fourth European Cup trophy on a victory parade through the streets of the city lined with almost 100,000 fans.

Saturday's 3-1 victory over Manchester United at Wembley stadium capped a season in which the Spanish champions claimed their third successive national league title and reached the King's Cup final.

It was the club's second EUFA League triumph in three years.

The team flew home from London on Sunday in a plane decorated in the club colours and huge pictures of the players on the side. Afterwards, they partied with almost 100,000 fans at the Nou Camp stadium.

They rode in a double-decker bus decked in Barcelona's red and blue colours and the word "Champions" on the sides.

Saturday's goalscorers Lionel Messi, David Villa and Pedro were on full display.
