Hiya guys.

I have a question and need help. Below is a photo of a friendly match between Barcelona and Burnley FC. Apparently there was 2 games played, each ending in 1-0 scorelines for each side. The question i'd like to know is were Burnley FC the last team to play Barca at Les Cortes? (being away in 1949 suggests the game was held there). Also who was the first recognised English team to play there?

The last english team to play at Les Corts was Blackpool FC. The game ended in a 3-3 draw on Wednesday 22.05.1957, KO 22:30. The Barca goalscores were Villaverde, Tejada and Evaristo. The first team was Notts County. They played on Saturday 27.05.1922, KO 16:30. Barca lost this game 2:4 (Gracia 2 goals). One day later the two teams met again at Les Corts. This time the game ended in a 1-1 draw (Samitier).
