“60 Minutes” profiled FC Barcelona on Sunday. It was the first time the program had profiled a professional football team in its history. Bob Simon, correspondent for the North American news program, sat down with 60 Minutes Online Editor Ann Silvio to talk about his experience covering Barça. In the interview, which can be seen below, Simon notes that Barça’s playing style “is like Picasso with a brush – making brush strokes [...] I grew up with stick ball [a form of baseball] and no one has ever compared stick ball to some artist of musician - but yes you see it, I saw it.”
