WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!! (Again!)
February 15th, 2007Yes!! We are the winners, we are the winners! Last Sunday saw the first title of the year, “La Copa del Rey”…go to the basketball team of Barça! I know that basketball is not as important as football here in Barcelona…but Barça supporters also follow how well the basketball team is doing.
Do you know what the best thing about that win is??? Barça defeated its archrival Real Madrid with a result of 69-53…16 points difference against the actual leader of the Spanish Basketball League, we thrashed them!! And believe me, beating Real Madrid in any sport is very, very important! Actually, all the managers, players and the press considered Real Madrid as the favourite to win this cup. However, Barça is always there trying to win, even when nobody believed they could do it. You can never underestimate Barça’s potential in any sport!! In basketball, we haven’t only won a lot of national and international titles, but also, lots of the best European players have played defending the ‘Azulgrana’, such as Sarunas Jasikevicius, Dejan Bodiroga, Juan Carlos Navarro and, obviously, the best Spanish player ever…Pau Gasol, who is an all-star in the NBA!
As you can imagine, people in Barcelona don’t become as crazy as when the football team won a title, but anyway, people still go to “Las Ramblas” and “La font de Canaletes” to celebrate the important victories. And this last victory was very important, against our historical rival, and a lot of people went out on Sunday night to celebrate it!
Congratulations to all Barça’s supporters and of course to the team!! It was a perfect weekend…champions of “La Copa del Rey” in basketball, and the football team defeated Racing to give them more of a lead at the top of the table!
But in order for everything to be perfect with in the football world of Barça, I would just tell to my “friend” Eto’o to relax a little bit and to stop creating problems with his habitual and polemic declarations. Please, don’t disrupt the good feeling the team has regained and leave Ronaldinho and Rijkaard alone. Just play, score goals, and help Barça to defeat Liverpool…in fact, demonstrate during the following weeks that you are one of the best players in the World.
You know we love you “Papa Eto’o”
