It was a humid night in Pasadena. The buzz around Pasadena and all around Los Angeles was felt and for good reason.
FC Barcelona was in town.
As someone who's been a lifelong Barça fan, I felt excitement and nerves heading into the stadium. I was there for Fox Deportes to cover the preseason match against the LA Galaxy. I am grateful to Fox for allowing me to receive a media credential to cover the match.
Seeing the amount of Culés inside the stadium was a thing of beauty. In total, 93,226 souls filled the Rose Bowl and most of them were Barça fans, patiently waiting to see their heroes live and in person.
