A few weeks ago I got to experience something special – watching FC Barcelona become champions of Spain once again.
Luckily, I bought my ticket for the final match of the season about 3 weeks before, as they had sold out by the time it was confirmed that Barcelona would need to win to be crowned champions. Thanks to the guys at Oh-Barcelona.com for letting me know how to get a ticket for the game!
I arrived at the Nou Camp stadium around 3 hours before the start of the game, and already the atmosphere was heating up – quite literally with all the fireworks going off. Finally kick off time arrived and Barca won the match 4-0, meaning that the party could begin (as if it already hadn’t!)
The stadium was a colourful sight, but nothing compared to when we got back to Placa Catalunya, where fans had gathered to celebrate with songs, fireworks, and other passionate displays of affection for their team. Unfortunately, some trouble did develop after midnight, but the party will live with me forever.
