Fuck me it’s the hope that gets you.
Could have easily been 6-2 Barca, messi hit the same bit of the same post twice in fifteen mins. And in between we dragged ourselves back into the match twice and it really felt like we could snatch a result.
And then we didn’t.
Atmosphere after we scored was the best I’ve experienced at Wembley when the fans get a sense that its starting to go their way, wall of noise.
And then the hush after Messi stroked in the fourth, after we shot ourselves in the foot with our rushed attempt to play out from the back.
Messi and coutinho were the difference. Suarez had a few runs, Rakitic got a goal (great strike) busquets was his own neat and tidy self, receiving and releasing the ball just so, but Messi was the one they relied on and the one who was so very dangerous, either with the ball at his feet as everyone backed off him, or making runs into space after a give and go, as you could only look on hoping he missed, even though you knew he wouldn’t..
Glad I got to see him play in person, upset that we threw away a chance to take points off them..
