Barça! Barça! Baaaaarrrrççççaaaa!

Last night I went to see my first ever soccer aka football game ! My friend Matt and I headed to Camp Nou to see FC Barcelona (Barça) play against a team from Madrid called Getafe. Seeing the stadium was incredible because it's gigantic !

Both Matt and I were sooo excited all day long while we were in Sitges to go to see Barça play that night. We couldnt wait! Our tickets were pretty cheap on 20 euro each, and we were technically in the "nose bleeds" section, but when we got there we had an amazing view of the stadium and werent as far up as I though we were going to be! We ended up moving down to get some closer seats, because once you're in your section it doesnt matter where you sit. :)

I got to wear my Barça jersey for the first time with my Barça soccer scarf lol So i was fully decked out in Barça gear! The whole game was very exciting, and the crowd atmosphere was intense. There was a lot of swearing by people around us when a bad call was made, or something happened to one of the players on the field (e.g. when they get "hit" and fall on the ground being babies, and then 5 min later they are fine lol. Soccer players are the biggest whimps/actors ever). We got to hear the Barça song at the beginning and end of the game, they had the lyrics on the screen, so Matt and I attempted to sing a long but we don't know Catalán so it was difficult lol.

FC Barcelona scored the first goal in the first 6 minutes of the game, by of course Messi who is the best played on the team!! haha it was so exciting to see a goal so quickly, and it set a great pace for the game. Then in the 2nd half Barça scored again!! Barça almost had Getafe shut out for the entire game, but unfortunately at the end of the game Barça got a penalty against them, so Getafe received a penalty shot, and scored. So the final score was 2-1 Barcelona :)
The screen said that there was over 74,000 people in the stadium last night, and leaving the game was crazy! There were so many people exiting the stadium and of course trying to get on the metro, so Matt and I decided to walk for a bit to avoid the craziness that was the metro last night. So we walked over a few streets and got on a different metro stop that was further down from the stadium.

It was an amazing experience last night to see a football game in europe, I can't wait to go again!

GO BARÇA GO !! :)
