Barcelona now mocking Real Madrid with bus ads

It's now looking very likely that Barcelona and Real Madrid will play four Clasicos in 18 days (one league match, the Copa del Rey final and a Champions League semifinal), so Barca has started the mind games with the help of local public transportation. Together with partner Assistencia health care, Barca has put together ads that show five of the team's players each holding up all five fingers on one hand with the word "units" (Catalan for "united") spelled out on their palms.

The "manita" became the symbol of Barcelona's 5-0 dismantling of Real earlier this season, so to plaster it on buses around the city certainly isn't just a means of promoting a health care partner. Your move, Jose.
