Players from both squads went on an open-bus parade through the Catalan capital, greeting fans who sang and waved flags while fireworks and confetti were set off.

The players from the men’s team wore T-shirts with the words “La Liga is ours. The future too.” The women carried the slogan “We play together, we win together.”

Striker Robert Lewandowski, who scored twice in Sunday’s win at Espanyol, showed some of his dance moves on top of the bus during the parade that lasted about three hours.

“I’ve never experienced anything like this,” defender Ronald Araujo said. “I hope to enjoy many more experiences like this.”
