Only just starting to come down from a night at the Nou camp.
I have visited on two occasion on the official tour and always wanted to see it full if fans last night I got my wish.
Only a friendly but the messianic Messi didn't disappoint and it was a virtual sell out
Best surprise though was Szczney for Roma easily man of the match some spectacular saves kept the game to a respectable 3-0.
Two relative tap ins from Messi and Neymar and a great 20 yard volley from Rakitic end results of countless run jinks lighting quick moves from Barca.
Second half descended into the usual player protecting 6 man substitutions.
Iniesta showed there is still loads of life in the old dog yet.
Gervinho looked like man most likely to score for Roma until he was subbed and there was some resolute last man tackling from their defence most notably by Mapou.
The pre game light show though was worthy of an Olympic opening ceremony.
Felt slightly ashamed though as I espied a derby shirt while I was wearing a v old Barca one.
Went to congratulate him though anybody on here by any chance?
What a stadium what a night!!
Homage to Catalonia Derby at the Nou Camp?

Did Messi headbutt someone?
If so, where does he hide the stool?

I went to watch Barca play Ath Madrid 10 years ago. Ath Madrid won 2 nil with Torres getting both. I went to watch Derby at the Withdean on the Saturday and then flew out Sunday morning to watch Barca on the Sunday evening. The Barca song makes the hairs on the back on your neck stand up. I've been to see AC Milan play at home a few times even saw them play Inter. They have a similar song to Barca but I think Milans is slightly better

Seated quite low down second tier slightly askew of the goal.
If you looking out from press boxes we would be to the left
