There was a football match yesterday... but it was more than that. We had been waiting for this day, a day of glory for those who like football. We Barça fans witnessed the victory of art and poetry in motion in front of sheer strength and power. Barça defeated Chelsea F.C. at Stamford Bridge in a match full of images to remember. Players fought bravely in a muddy potato field. The pitch was awful!! Barça played and Chelsea ran. Two different views of football met in London last night: No one can criticize Chelsea for the way they play. They fight for every single ball and pass it with a swift kick to their forward players who run like arrows towards the goal. No one does it better than Chelsea, and this is why they are on top of the Premiere League. But they met something different. Barça offers constant struggle to recover the ball as well, but there is something else... art! The Catalans are constantly trying to dribble and pass the ball through the most unbelievable space. Their most outstanding sample is Ronaldinho... or at least he was, now there's another one. Lionel Messi. English spectators could witness yesterday the rise of a new star. He drove Del Horno mad (he got a well deserved red card for his tackle), and later all the other defenders. Don't miss the wise comments on the independent page.
