My SUMMER 2006 in Pictures. I was celebrating the UEFA Championship... (Yes, on May 17th 2006, FC Barcelona beat London's Arsenal in the final of the UEFA Champions League. Here are some pictures of the event): The Goal
The Cup
The Team
... and with Coach Frank Rijkaard
Then, suddenly, in the middle of the celebration... I became the President of the Club. Yes, the President of FC Barcelona!!! Here is how some of the Barcelona Press announced it. Announcements of the News in the Catalan/Spanish press: And so, I had to be the President... and here are some of the pictures of what I had to do. I Presented our new players (Gudjohnsen, Thuram and Zambrotta) in Los Angeles
Presided over a games ...
I walked the Red Carpet in front of the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles
I got to meet a few celebrities like... SUPERMAN!
...The most beautiful person in the Universe... (she is the one on the left)
... and a Gigolo called Deuce Bigalow (Rob Schneider)
Ronaldinho with the Brazillian Astronaut Marcos Pontes
I introduced our players to our fans in New York...
I even got to preside over a game along with fellow Columbia professor (and President of the US Soccer Federation) Sunil Gulati! (what are the odds that two Columbia economics professors get to preside over a professional football/soccer game?)
In Sum, I had a really... let's say, peculiar, summer. |
