Boo. Hiss. Madrid wins the league
Tuesday, June 19th, 2007It seemed like a close call, but in fact it wasn’t at all. However many goals Barcelona scored against Nastic on Sunday night it was really all down to how Mallorca stood up to Real Madrid. Although Mallorca were initially in the lead we only needed to hope for a draw.
That’s where Madrid show why they’re winners; they have the stamina to play hard for 90 minutes while other teams just burn out. So Barcelona didn’t win the league, not through their own fault - at least not in this round of the competition.
Well there’s always next year - if you do want to see them play you can reserve FC Barcelona tickets once the draw has been made in July.
Last night saw the first round of the Barcelona derby with Espanyol playing host to FC Barcelona at their home stadium on Montjuic. In fact the I can see the stadium from the front terrace and if I stretch a bit the other way I can also see Camp Nou - or as most Anglophones insist, the Nou Camp.
