Today we started the day at 9:30 with an amazing tour of Camp Nou, the home of FC Barcelona. 3 hours was all we had to be at the facility but I think some of us could have spent the whole day taking in all that the stadium had to offer. We all received audio players that explained the history of the club, its players, coaches, and the famous stadium. Along the tour, we were able to see the press room and have pictures taken with one of the clubs many championship cups. The tour also showed us the visiting team locker room, the chapel, the press box high above the stands, and the field. It was great to walk down the tunnel and out onto the field, if only it were when 110,000 fans were in the stands cheering.
On our way back from the stadium Coach Flint and Coach Maciel received word that their luggage had finally made it to the hotel, 5 Days into the trip. They are both so thankful not to wear smelly clothing anymore.
The day finished with our second match against San Gabriel. The home side struck first when they tucked a shot past GK Lauren Viverito but the team came right back with a finish from Shana Follette. The second half was again a back and forth battle. San Gabriel pulled ahead when a forward found herself on a breakaway and was able to tuck the ball past Viverito. The girls continued to battle and were rewarded with an outside of the foot finish by Allison Melley. Both teams had some great chances throughout the game but it would finish 2-2.
Now off to bed early for our 4am wake up call and trip to London.
Gracias Barcelona!
