Glory, glory, Man United! 2 goals in something like 60 seconds to take a 2-1 lead v. CSKA.

Chelsea got Barcelona. Dammit.

Of course, I believe Messi has never scored against Chelsea.

So is the joke "more like Ilkay Gund-AGAIN" or "more like Ilkay Gundo-TWO"? I'm torn between spelling and pronunciation.

Arsenal losing to IKEA FC and then beating Man City Sunday might be peak Arsenal. Now what seemed like meaningless penalty save by Ospina at the end of the first leg is looming mighty large.

Ask for an invite.

Was at Barça Chelsea. Happened to pick up my phone to record right as Messi scored his second, right in front of us.

That is awesome!

And this picture taken right after the game probably isn;t sitting too well with Chelsea fans.

The crowd had quite a few chants for Morata, (dislike). Pedro as well, (very much like). Cesc didn't get much attention from the fans, as far as I could understand.

I thought Umtiti played really well, and Dembele is class. Messi is still on another level. Amazing to get to see him live.

Basically the same goal, but the first on the right, and the second on the left. Or at least, that's what it seemed like to me. No replays in the stadium and highlights are hard to come by here.

I have seen quite a bit of futsal and hoqui highlights on Barca TV though.

That and the Zidane only cam during the RM game have been the strangest thing about TV here.

It wasn't hard, but it was expensive. They only had hospitality tickets available through their website. The hospitality consisted of really good tapas and all you could drink wine and cava for 1.5 hrs before and 1 hr after the game, in the basketball arena, just across from the Camp Nou. Also, our seats were the front row of level 3 (of 5, I think), behind the goal and off to the right a little, close to the touchline near the teams. €400 pp.

There are a ton of official stores that appeared to maybe have tickets for sale, but I had already purchased ours a month or so ago when they went on sale.

Our third level seats were not with an overhang in front of us, but rather the row in front of us was about 4 feet lower than us. I bearhugged an exuberant Catalan on three different occasions, and I'm a little hoarse today.

When abbreviating Barcelona out loud, do you say Bar-sa or Bark-a (FOH with the Barth-a)?

I always tended towards the latter, but that's not how Barcelona sounds.
