How do you improve on Barcelona ?

How do you improve the best football team in the world ? Do you do it by buying Cesc Fabregas ?


The almost-all-conquering Barcelona team is rightly famed for it's 'tiki taka' style of football, it's La Masia youth academy and it's ability to attract Shakira to watch their games. Cesc Fabregas was their highest profile capture during the transfer window but Barcelona have snagged yet another world's best, though this was one that would have been missed by most football fans.

If you're wondering who this world's best is, wonder no more. Ferran Adria - of El Bulli fame - one of the best chefs in the world, has signed on to revamp the menu at La Masia.

He will fit right into the Barcelona set up. He's home grown - i.e. from Catalonia - which means that he's got the same cultural background as most of Barcelona's star players.

And ........ look at his cooking philosophy. You could almost say that it mirrors Barcelona's playing philosophy : "The ideal customer doesn't come to El Bulli to eat but to have an experience."
