Today, the second of the two UEFA Champions' League semi-finals was decided. Manchester United, perhaps the most famous club in all of football, prevailed.
Yesterday, the Barca-Real Madrid match ended in a draw, but Barca also advanced because they had won the prior match in that series with Real. This means that we will have a re-match of the 2009 Champions' League Final that took place in Rome. However, this year's final of the 2 best clubs in Europe will be at Wembley Stadium in London- a slight home court advantage to the Red Devils of Manchester. They will need it!
The final should be epic because this year's Barca team is one of the best in years, and their brand of attacking football has been a pleasure to watch this season. The final will also be a prequel to a "friendly," or exhibition match between the 2 clubs in Washington, D.C. on July 30 this summer. And yes, I have tickets 21 rows back at midfield. And no, I am not at liberty to say how much they cost.
Let's hope all the Barca first team players show up for both matches, and let's hope that the D.C. match will be the second Barca victory over Man U this year!
