Barcelona is on fire!!

UEFA Champion League: Barca vs. Arsenal (May 17, 2006)

It was the Wednesday the Barcelonans (barcelones) would never forget..when both Etoo and Belleti scored within 5 minutes apart after Arseonal lead for about 70 minutes. It was pissing rain in paris when the team claimed their third champion trophey in history. Amazing!!! I was pissing together with 50 other spanards and the only 2 arsenal fans (my friend O and A) in an English pub in Gracia. We walked down to Placa Catalunya to celebrate with the locals—it was INSANE. I must say, as if the city was on a riot, the new “catalan” revolution is taking place—people are playing firecrackers, shouting, singing, honking, even doing the human castles ☺ I got into the crowd and lost both my slippers..had to come out because it was too dangerous and scary, as if I was drowning. Ended up running for the bus and walking 30 blocks in the streets of Barcelona on bare foot. Quite an experience. What a night! I must say. How lucky I am to be in the city where all these amazing/historical moments are taking place. Definitely a warm-up for me for the world cup coming up this summer!
