Sure, this is a FC Barcelona blog and FC Barcelona, sadly, didn't make it to the Champions League final, thanks to a spirited performance by Chelsea. But football fans will be football fans! Even though their favourite team isn't in the final Culés will still watch this final played at the Allianz Arena, though, I'm sure some Barça fans will be too depressed to watch this match.
Enjoy the game Cules (and all neutral football fans who want to read comments on a neutral (more or less - at least in this game) football blog)!
