Weeee are the Champions!

17th of May, 2006. The second best thing that could happen that day, happened! F.C. Barcelona is the winner of the UEFA Champions League!
The second time of its history, maybe the rising of the Dream Team II.

We went to Centre Sportif here, in Louvain-la-Neuve with some friends and with lots of “people”. As someone said, “here there are many people but only a few persons”. Really lovely people like Pelotilla a.k.a. Facha-man, with his bull-spanish flag made the night a bit more interesting. People shouting against Barcelona, against Catalan, against Catalonia. It is really funny. I’m not a great football fan, but I will never go to watch a Real Madrid game to shout against them and show Catalan flags, or stuff like that... a bit of respect!

And the match... the referee was one of the protagonists of the match. Minute 17, Lehmann makes a fault to Eto’o just out of the area, and Giuly scores the goal. It was the perfect example of the “advantage rule” (or whatever that is the English name for it) but the referee decided to annule the legal goal. Great... 20 minutes later Campbell scored a goal.

And I’m not really a football fan, so I’ll try to summarise: Larsson is SO GOOD, he made two incredible assistances and Eto’o and Belletti scored the goals. And yep, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!
PD: the best thing of the 17th of May is that I’ve spend the two best months of my life!
