Barcelona celebrated their Copa del Rey triumph on the aeroplane

Gerard Pique was not among the squad while Iniesta and Bartomeu toasted

Barcelona's return to Catalunya after winning the Copa del Rey was an explosion of happiness. They had won a title and ended Luis Enrique's era at the club in a high note. However there were some curiosities to note on the way back. 

Some who flew back will not be at the club next season, but Gerard Pique stayed behind in Madrid for personal reasons. The majority of players took home a ball as a memory under their arm. Many of them were signed by team-mates. Juan Carlos Unzue's was, a nice goodbye gift.

All the players wore commemorative shirts from the final while the team delegate Carles Naval, was given the Copa del Rey to cover. There was also an official photograph with a toast.

President Josep Maria Bartomeu was involved with Luis Enrique, Andres Iniesta, the sporting vice-president Jordi Mestre and director Javier Bordas.
