Tonight Barcelona won through in the second Champs League semi-final.
Having beaten Milan one-nil in Italy last week though a Ronaldinho-created
goal by Giuly, they scraped through tonight in a similar manner to
Arsenal last night.
Ok, so they played a bit better, they attacked for much of the game
and probably should have scored. But they were lucky in the end to
see a perfectly good Shevchenko goal for Milan disallowed.
Barcelona look anything but unbeatable. As against Benfica in the
previous round, there was a lot of clever stuff which often led to nothing.
A bit like Arsenal perhaps, they like to score pretty goals. And like
Arsenal, they've got one of the best scorers of pretty goals ever.
As I understand it, Barca will be considered the home team in Paris,
so we'll be wearing yellow.
The official site has ticket details
now. Basically, season ticket holders, bond holders, and away scheme members
need to register their interest between now and Saturday evening (it makes
no difference when you register within that timeframe), and will be told if they've
been successful or not next Tuesday at which point the lucky ones
will be able to buy their tickets.
We've got an allocation of just 20,500, which isn't nearly enough.
I guess the same's true of Barcelona. But perhaps a good number of
the neutrals in the ground will be behind us.
