Having already been to New York, the 2015 UEFA Champions League Trophy Tour, presented by Heineken, continued its journey around the United States by visiting Dallas.
The famous saying claims "everything is bigger in Texas", and things kicked off with a photo shoot overlooking the spectacle of downtown Dallas.
Patrick Kluivert and Éric Abidal joined 'Ol Big Ears' on the latest leg of its tour, and with interest in football at an all-time high in the country, a live appearance on radio and television followed.
Kluivert, who scored the winner for AFC Ajax in the 1995 UEFA Champions League final, then talked idols and inspirations in a live Facebook Q&A hosted by the UEFA Champions League Facebook page.
Abidal, a two-time winner of the competition with FC Barcelona, was also in the hot seat for a live chat with fans on Twitter.
There was time too for the stars to mix with supporters in person at the event.
The trophy's journey across America concludes in Los Angeles this week, with a two-day visit from 21–22 April. Do not miss out.
