Ibrahimovic, after scoring the winning goal! Source: FCBarcelona.cat
We had to sit outside because the bar was so packed, but in the end we were lucky to even have seats! So many others were standing outside with us! The bar had the game projected onto the wall, and while we couldn't hear the official commentary, all the catalans outside provided their own colorful commentary!
Even with my limited knowledge of fútbol, it was so evident from the moment the game started that the level of talent and focus was off the charts. It was such an intense game!!! Everyone was yelling at the players ("venga venga VENGA!" "molt bé Xavi, molt bé!") and cursing the referees. Barça had control of the ball for the majority of the game though, and their passing was just perfect. The only thing that was frustrating was that they all seemed to hesitate a bit to long at the critical moment when a goal could be scored.
The only goal of the game was scored by Ibhrahimovic, and it happened so fast I almost missed it. The ball had scarcely been passed to him when he launched it, como un fúsil, into the goal! Everyone erupted in cheers!! We could hear fireworks being set off in the distance!!
I enjoyed watching this game so much! It was so fun to be cheering for Barça alongside all these locals, and I also felt great because it turns out, I have a pretty good knowledge of all the players!
SO PROUD OF FCB!!!!
