FC Barca Game


Katie and Ruby at the game!

Camp Nou is the essence of Barcelona sports. Walking into the stadium you are immediately struck with the magic and awe of European futbol. The fans are the most loyal fans that you could imagine. The chants and roars fill the stadium with excitement. To say the least Camp Nou was an amazing experience.
Prior to the match my friends and I bought matching Messi jerseys. Upon purchasing these jerseys we were unaware of the magnitude and fame of the player who sports the number ten for the Barca futbol team. Messi is an extreme and utter phenomenon not only is he the most famous player on the Barca team but his skill and ability to shoot the ball to the back of the net has made him a European mega star.

The game we attended was on March 17th the home match against Stugarrt. The Germans surely showed their loud and proud personalities as their chants began to fill the stadium. Germans have always been known for their massive consumption of beer and more often then not this consumption leads to a rowdy and arrogant attitude. The screaming Germans only made this experience even more memorable because the fierce competition gave the stadium more thrill and adrenaline.

The night ended in a joyous victory for the home team as the people of Barcelona sang their anthem with great pride. I proudly swayed to the tune as I now consider myself a Barca fan. This was truly great experience and I can only hope to come back to Camp Nou in a very new future. GO BARCA!
