Toma toma toma, nos vamos para Roma!!!

Tonight, FC Barcelona tied Chelsea in a nerve-wracking down-to-the-wire match, allowing them to advance to the Champion's League finals in Rome on May 27th. And yes, I live in Madrid, but I have been a Barcelona fan ever since I lived in Cádiz from 2003-04. Back then Real Madrid was similar to the NY Yankees, all superstars fighting for attention. Beckam, Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo, and Raúl. People tell me I am a Barça just because they are winning, but that is not true. Same with being a New England Patriots fan. I rooted for the Patriots in the 2002 Super Bowl when everyone thought they had no chance in hell of beating the Rams and Vinatieri ended up winning the game for them with a field goal. I have to stay loyal, they won me a bet!

Here is the tying goal by Iniesta that allowed them to advance to the finals (which led to an eruption of screaming in the bar I was at, and a few tables were almost knocked over):
