A League of Their Own...

|
Did you watch the Champions League final between Manchester United Vs. Barcelona? So disappointing wasn’t it, Barcelona totally outclassed United. Not the ‘goal-feast’ that everyone had predicted, and I expected United to give these Spanish a fight. But it was all one-way traffic after Barcelona scored their 1st goal. At least United could have scored some goal, then losing would not have been so disappointing. Oh well. There’s always next season. But Barcelona already had a magical season, with already winning the Spanish League and Copa Del Rey, and considering how they won THAT match against Chelsea in the Champions League semi-final, you just have to admire their persistence to win, and admit that the God’s are indeed shining their holy light on them this season. Well done Barcelona, try again next season United!!!

And speaking of the Champion’s League, here’s something that will give a whole new definition to the term ‘die-hard fan’. Read below, taken from Soccernet.com:

“A Manchester United fan in Nigeria killed four people when he drove his minibus into a crowd of Barcelona supporters after his team lost the Champions League final, police said on Thursday.

The crowd in the town of Ogbo were celebrating Barcelona's victory after Wednesday night's match when the bus drove into them. A police spokeswoman said 10 people were injured and the driver was arrested.


"The driver had passed the crowd then made a U-turn and ran into them," she said.

Barcelona beat Manchester United 2-0 in what was hailed as a "dream final" between two of Europe's best clubs. Both teams have large fan bases in Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation.”

To young MU fans, don’t do this at home!!!

They lost out in midfield..i never agree with putting Rooney at left wing. He's supposing to be in his favoured back-up striker role.

I know..but it worked for against other teams like Arsenal and Spurs, Rooney was on the left and Ron was the striker..it worked. But against Barca i think that early goal really killed United. And with Barca playing keep-ball, it's just damn impossible ahaha. Oh well, at least they in the final for 2 seasons in a row.

Now if only Ronaldo is staying...lol

you kidding? i was in rome for the pre-match celebration and the MU fans were complete hooligans. durnkard, obnoxious, hooligans.

i was in barcelona when they won the spanish league and the cope del rey. it was sheer madness there also but at least it is the overly-happy kind of intoxication.

football fans are mad.

*ducks flying objects by ray and uncle*

ps. just to make you explode with envy, i shamelessly pushed through the crowd to get photos of the champions league trophy :)

Raymond said...

Yup, i kinda agree about the MU fans, actually the English fans, in general. Give them a pint of beer and a couple of mates, they go absolutely MENTAL!!! I know coz i was in UK 3 years remember? ;)

But take the beer and mates away, they are nice and normal ppl. Beer + Mates = Deadly Crazy Combo!!

Ahh and Maj, Champions League trophy I'm not that envious. I've even HELD it in my arms ;) Uncle can testify to that. Remember that at the Curve ehh Uncle?? ;)I think it was a year or 2 years ago if not mistaken...

Steeven said...
