Barcelona opening an office is being celebrated in a big way in New York.

The colours of the Spanish giants – all 381 metres of them - are set to adorn New York's Empire State Building on Wednesday, in recognition of the club spreading its wings to the Big Apple.

No less than Ronaldinho will help in switching said lights on, and Barcelona say "the skyscraper will light up the New York sky with the club's colours throughout the night".
