It was a month ago, but I finally got some spare time to post here a photo of the Barcelona bus the day after they won.
I've been in Rome for work since February from Tuesdays to Fridays and this will end likely at the end of July, when the project will be over.
I dind't go to the game (they asked 700 euros for a ticket), but I was at the celebrations through that afternoon and I was able to see the Champions League Cup live at a distance of 20 cm, and the Barcelona players, who stayed at a five stars hotel near where I work when I'm in Rome (the famous via Veneto).
I don't know if our forum members here from Spain are fans of Barcelona or Real Madrid, but with all the players they recently bought maybe they will win next year.

I am really not into football anymore, but I do remember enough of it to know that there probably were some serious celebrations going on that day :D

Did you see any of the players, Paolo?

Yes, I actually saw all the players and coaches while they were hopping off the bus after the Tuesday practice (the game was on Wednesday).
I was going back to my hotel after eating at a nearby restaurant and I saw a crowd gathered there so I stopped too, waiting for the team to come back from Olympic Stadium. After more than one hour the bus arrived!
