Barcelona were eyeing up an impromptu workout on the National Mall earlier today, only to have their little scheme nixed by the U.S Park Police – we’ll let Xavi pick up the yarn:

“Security said you couldn’t have a group of more than 10 or 15 there. We wanted to loosen up a little, stretch – but, given that the White House was near, it was just normal security, nothing more.”

Back to the bus with you!

Looks like Barca aren’t being shown quite the same levels of preferential treatment by the good folk of Washington DC than certain other teams we hasten to mention.

Ahem *free cookies* ahem.

    Hahahaha!
    “Where’s the leader of this group?” – She clearly didn’t know who Barcelona were.

    This is ridiculous. There are groups on the Mall everyday. People play softball and kickball out there also.

    Barcelona are a terrorist organization…terrorizing every soccer team in the world including my beloved Arsenal. Back to the bus bozos.

    key word is impromptu. i’m sure if they’d scheduled this beforehand, you know, so that we could set up bleachers and concession stands for paying customers, they would have been greeted with open arms. still, i think this whole DC venture is an omen for the CL final. barca on the way down, united on the way up!

    Maybe it was the “Qatar Foundation” logo that put her off? Obviously they were Arab terrorists…with good advertising.

    The best football team in the world is turned away. How completely unsurprising.
