Monday morning back at work after a momentous weekend like this one is hell, pure hell.  It didn't take long before the first email arrived from one of the team quoting funny anecdotes from the last 4 days and very soon inboxes were filled with return emails.  Barcelona produced the largest number of memorable moments to date and here they are for your enjoyment, and most likely bemusement...
