Hahaha!!!! These are intial reactions after watching the Champions League game between Barcelona and Liverpool. Though my club Chelsea were playing on the other channel, and they played out a 1-1 draw. Skipper John Terry looks to have picked up another injury....rumoured to be an ankle sprain. I'm confident at the return at Stamford Bridge ...Chelsea are strong enough to take on anything that Porto have to offer....especially if John Terry gets back into the Chelsea starting XI.
Back to the real stuff....there has been alot of pre-match hype about this game. Barcelona vs Liverpool. Firstly , it's a match between 2 clubs with lots of history behind them....Secondly, if you'd realized...that it's a match between the past 2 European Champions...Liverpool champions in 04-05 , followed by their spanish counter-parts in 05-06. Frankly speaking, most people i know hadn't given Liverpool a chance to get anything out of this draw....in fact majority were already expecting them to head for an early exit. The only people on this earth that believes they can get something out of it are probably the Liverpool faithful.
Making sure i did not miss this game...i went to bed as early as 10....to ensure i get enough sleep and to do crazy stuff like blogging at 5:59am sounds reasonable. Well, nothing is gonna spoil my day, seeing those ego-crap Barcelona players get whipped at their home stadium , nou camp...is something i would do anything to see it happen. Yeah, and i got it tonight! Channel surfing in-between ESPN and Star Sports....monitoring both games closely...with full attention....except for half-time when i did a complete surf on Astro.
I was quite disappointed when i saw the score Barcelona 1-0 Liverpool. I missed the goal....so obviously i missed what was the built up to it. The game was quite even from there on....Liverpool having the edge slightly if you ask me. The Barcelona flair players frankly couldn't do much...especially their superstar Ronaldinho, who was plainly shut-tight and was left desperate looking for fouls and making stupid complains whenever he got nudge and all. Just because he's a superstar ...lucky the referee didn't really give a damn about him. The other players were just doing the same ...falling down easily and all. Liverpool weren't exactly innocent totally as well, i would say they played very dirty "time-wasting tactics"....though it was still early in the game...however correct me if i'm wrong.
Liverpool replied with 2 goals...from Bellamy and Riise, the recently became famous golfer Bellamy and his golf-ball Riise. Both players seem to put their golfing experience behind them and make it count on the field. It was Bellamy who feeded Riise for the winning goal on the night. I do sympatize for Julio Belletti...he was running around the last 10 mins with what looked to be a dodgy knee but his manager decided to bring on Eidur Gudjohnsen for Javier Saviola. It was a game with some funny errors....like Victor Valdes picking up a back-pass from Guily...that was a noob mistake....even when i play football...i don't see that happening...and the best part of it...he still insisted on arguing....
Well, all in all. It's a competition over 2 legs....1 half of it is done....and it's been going in the right-way. And Liverpool , you've got my support to dump Barcelona out of the champions league.
P.S - i do have something against Barca...i really do...
Signing Off ,
Kevin
