We sat there with our jerseys almost covering our faces for most of the match... Messi was bottled.. Alves was sub par.. and Abidal was gone.. 10 men left and not one shot on target.. We had believed that all hope was lost. Staring at that scored put a churn in my heart... not only were we losing, but the unconditional hate for Chelsea almost supersedes that of Real Madrid.. this is our English Rival... and they were dominating us in their own manner....
Aside from all the questionable calls we watched on. with that ounce of hope I refused to take me eye's of the screen... Tears started to boil as the seconds reeled away... the team seemed frantic , passes were rushed, spaces were limited.. Chelsea had defended very well.. very very well.. and forcing Barca to take shots outside the box is one way to exploit a weakness... yet we pressed on..... and then one final ball ito the box with 40 seconds left of injury time..
"Surely chelsea would deal with this cross.. surely this game was over.." Eto's first touch rolled the ball to Essien in the box... and i remeber cringing as he failed to clear and it went to Messi.. Chelsea's defense was packed in the penalty area... no were for messi to go.. he passes the ball off.. and with all those blue shirts SURELY its gonna get sent the other way.. and then... Iniesta...... of all people take a shot right outside the box and into the corner.... GOOOOOOOOAALLL!!!!!!!!
I have watched that goal 20+ times... since then and aside form all the horrible reffing.. i simply remember both goals of that match.. from despair to Joy.. i was jumping out of my chair and yelling, screaming and hugging the person next to me.. WHICH so happened to be a United fan
i didn't care.. heart break turned to immense joy in the matter of seconds and even though i was not there,...
i celebrated along with fellow supporters as if i had scored that goal myself... and yes.. i even cried.... I've been watching this sport for some years now and no matter how the time passes it never ceases to Amaze me.... the fans, the players, the goals, the celebrations, the suspense, the beauty, the plots, the story-lines, the drama, the rivalries, ... the emotion... all bringing different worlds together in triumphs and sorrows.. putting all political ties aside for 90 minutes to enjoy such a wonderful sport and way of life unmatched with unity and collectiveness.... the Victories, the disappointments... undeniable passion tied within the souls of the faithful....
i love my Team... yes i love Barcelona dearly.. but Lord do I Love this game.......
