“We’re Man United, we do what we want,” sing their fans.
It is possible that Barcelona have their own anthem of a similar message. And if they do not, then they should get one. The Catalan magicians have confirmed their greatness by despatching Manchester United in untouchable style. Just as they did two years ago, England’s finest team were pulled apart, and an even harsher footballing lesson was received. They can offer no excuses, and did not offer them. To be beaten by a team of this quality will register as no disgrace once the pain has healed.
Ah… but Barcelona does have a song…. if the reader does not mind listening to a few minutes of a Catalan rendition of Cavafy’s Ithaca, Barca’s hymn Camp Nou can be heard [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp0AtyvusoY][here/url].
The Messi goal was beautiful, but Villa’s defied the laws of physics.
