- Story Text: Thousands of Barca fans turned to the streets of Barcelona on Sunday (June 7) evening as their team returned from Berlin after winning the 2015 Champions League trophy.
The players began an open top bus parade at 1900 local (1700gmt) at Barcelona's Vilanova avenue as fans waved and cheered their team in a tour expected to last three hours and will end with a celebration ceremony at the Nou Camp stadium.
The Catalan giants added the Champions League title to their La Liga and King's Cup wins, repeating the historic treble of 2009.
The three trophies were on display at the front of the open top bus as the smiling players danced, sang and waved to their fans. Barca's coach Luis Enrique also rode on the bus.
Barca have played in seven finals, winning four, and Saturday's victory makes it the club's third triumph in seven years in Europe's elite competition. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
