VIDEO: Barcelona Players Fly Out To Copa del Rey Clash In Helicopters

Barcelona has traveled in style to their Copa del Rey match against AD Ceuta, with Xavi’s team arriving on the African mainland via helicopter.

The current La Liga leaders will visit Ceuta on Thursday as the Blaugrana try to advance to the quarterfinals of the domestic cup competition. Ceuta is an autonomous city in Spain that is bordered by Morocco. In order to arrive at a meeting with lower-tier opposition on time, Barca have rented a fleet of helicopters rather than traveling across the Mediterranean Sea by plane.
