Champions League madness

on the board of FC Barcelona this Wednesday is at Glasgow Rangers. This means for me not really a bad game, I want to see it then, but nothing more.

Well I was wrong. On Tuesday there are signs of greater things. Since we live so in the old town, we go for shopping on the Rambla to Carrefour. As in the whole town was full and there of mostly drunken Glasgow fans. But not only types 20 to 30 Everything is here: young people, girls, women, old ... weggesoffen And everything. Not even 2 cans of San Miguel have they left us worn out and the beer Pallettenweise.

The next day the same game. At the Placa Catalunya, we went to, something I have not seen yet. As at a festival. All over Scotland and Scottish flags, drunken football fans with a pallet of beer cans or megaphone armed. And I really do not overdo. On the Marienplatz in the championship celebration goes quietly to the Bayern. The police have even regulated the traffic lights in addition to traffic and BCNeta (garbage removal) allows the access. They had to push extra shifts. The mob pulled down the whole Rambla. Nadine was in Carrefour and there was absolutely no beer.

wrote in the newspaper she also above:

The "hooligans" left with the beer Barcelona
The followers of Glasgow Rangers, who came for the Champions League game in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bexhausted yesterday the beer stocks of different establishments (shops and Bars halt) on the Ramblas. The Government tolerated the fans on the streets drinking alcohol, to avoid serious conflicts.

... Accordingly, it

has been seen on the street. Everywhere singing, puking, pissing, sleeping, tottering, ... fans and the legacy. Surprised I was and that some could still take pictures, and many apparently wanted to see the game in the stadium. The whole thing was so in the afternoon.

the more I naturally wanted to see the game in the evening. Actually, I'm still able to toast always in search of a typical English bar, with like-minded Barca. But yesterday I wanted to but in one of the many Irish bars. I let me not miss it.

So we moved them after the dinner and looked for the Temple-bar from close to the Rambla. Yesterday were all Irish pubs bouncer. I wonder why. Before the bar we met a British woman and heard more puking already celebrating a goal, because we were a little late. The bar was of course the majority in blue (and not the Barca-Blue) and they were singing, drinking, gesticulating, swearing (fuck, fucking, ..., the most common words) and in the middle we do. I even cheer Darft again (Score: Barcelona 2 - 0 Glasgow) and was 2x addressed if I was as Spaniards. But in the bar, everything went off peacefully. Even after the game, they just went to other bars and are likely to continue drinking. I've seen today only in the metro rather tired Scottish faces on the way to the train station / airport.

Further data from the newspaper:

  • about 20 000 fans at the Placa Catalunya and the Ramblas
  • were only 6,000 in the stadium
  • Carrefour was the beer and vodka from
  • the famous Bar Zurich Plaça Catalunya has on Wednesday as a precaution closed because it has given on Tuesday incidents
  • in a bar (not mentioned name) they drank in 2 days 12 000 liters of beer in 2 days

Well, that sounds like a big party, right?
As I said, I'm playing football and festivals have seen some, but something ...

Looking forward to more Champions League duels, when the Scots top it no longer even.

have unfortunately seen the drunken football fans not much of Barcelona. Do not make the same mistakes and see this beautiful city in peace, maybe with a guided walk through the old German neighborhood? www.paseo-barcelona.de
