May 19 Una noche mágica / A magical night
SPANISH:
Lo que unos amigos y yo vivimos el miércoles fue algo que nunca se nos borrará de la memoria; el Barcelona disputó la final de la Copa de Europa (o Champions League, como todo el mundo la conoce) y nosotros estuvimos en Barcelona para ver el partido en una pantalla gigante, junto a todos los aficionados culés!
Desde las 11 de la mañana que llegamos allí, el ambiente en la ciudad era espectacular, digno de un evento de tal magnitud y con la consciencia de que lo que estaba ocurriendo no era algo que ocurría todos los días.
En el 'Mercat de la Boqueria' había escudos del Barça por todas partes, y los pescaderos hacían sonar sus trompetas. El ambiente y la expectación se podía sentir en el aire, y más de uno tenía ya la piel de gallina.
Después nos reunimos todos en Las Ramblas, aficionados venidos de toda España, todos allí con un mismo fin, poder presenciar como el Barça se proclamaba, por segunda vez en su historia, campeón del campeonato de fútbol de clubes más prestigioso del mundo.
Vimos el partido en una pantalla gigante que instalaron en las 'Cotxeres' de Sants; hacía un calor infernal en la sala y el sudor nos caía a chorros, pero nada importaba, estabamos todos allí, todos con el corazón unido en una sola dirección.
Al final de la primera parte hubo más de una cara larga (entre ellas la de mi amigo Jesús, que estaba sentado a mi lado), pero entonces llegó el gol de Eto'o, y la esperanza volvió a inundarnos... sin embargo, cuando llegó el gol de Belletti tan solo unos minutos después, la sala literalmente explotaba de alegría, todos sabíamos lo que estaba ocurriendo, pero no nos lo podíamos creer aún... no por supuesto, hasta que el colegiado, que casi nos roba el partido con su mal arbitraje, pitó su silbato tres veces, dandonos lo que tanto nos habíamos merecido; no tan solo porque la afición culé se lo merecía, sino porque el Barça ha demostrado esta temporada, con su estilo exquisito, que el mejor fútbol del mundo se juega ahora mismo en el Camp Nou.
No me queda más que decir, mas que viví una noche mágica, y que le doy las gracias a todos esos jugadores que visten la camiseta azulgrana, que en una noche para el recuerdo nos permitieron vivir en un sueño, del que no hemos tenido que despertar.... sois los mejores!!!
 FORÇA BARÇA!!!
ENGLISH:
What some friends of mine and myself went through last Wednesday night was something that will remain in our memory forever; FC Barcelona played the Champions League final and we travelled to Barcelona to watch the game there on a big screen, along with every other true Barcelona supporter!
From 11:00 am when we arrived, the atmosphere in the city was electric, in accordance with the magnitude of the truly worthy event that was about to take place. You could breathe it in the air, that something was happening, something which doesn't happen every day.
At the market of 'Boqueria' there were Barcelona emblems everywhere to be seen, and at the fish shops the shopkeepers were blowing trumpets. The massive expectation could be felt in the air, and many already had chicken skin on their arms.
Afterwards all of us met at 'Las Ramblas', supporters coming from all corners of Spain, all of us with the same goal: to be able to witness FC Barcelona becoming the 'Champions League' winner for the second time in their history; a championship which is the most prestigious football tournament for clubs in the world!
We watched the game on a massive screen which had been installed at 'Cotxeres' in Sants; the heat in the room was unbearable and we were sweating like pigs, but nothing really mattered, we were all there, with our hearts united towards one direction.
At the end of the second half there was more than one long face (among them the one of my friend Jesus, who was sitting next to me), but then Eto'o's goal arrived, and we were again filled with hope... and when Belletti's goal arrived just a few minutes afterwards, the room was literally bursting with happiness, we were all aware of what was happening, but we couldn't believe it just then... not, of course, until the referee, who almost cost us the match with his horrible performance, blew his whistle three consecutive times, giving us what we had so rightfully deserved; not just because us, Barcelona supporters, deserved it, but mostly because the FC Barcelona players have proved this season, with their class, that the best football in the world can only be seen at the 'Nou Camp'.
I have nothing else to say, but that I lived a magical night and that I thank all those players who wear the blue and red t-shirt, who in a night which will remain in our memory forever made it possible for us to live in a dream, a dream from which we haven't had to wake up... you are the best!!!
