I went to the FC Barcelona Game vs. Racing Santander on February 20, 2010.It was my first time in Camp Nou and was truly an amazing experience. Barcelona won the game 4-0 and was absolutely dominant against a much inferior Racing Santander team. Three goals were scored at halftime: one by Andrew Iniesta, Thierry Henry, and Rafael Marquez each. The game was clearly over after the first half yet my friends and I still stayed until the end of the game to fully enjoy the victory. The atmosphere in the stadium was electric, and the crowd got especially loud when goals were scored and when players were substituted. Seeing a crowd of 100,000 people was awesome, and reminded me of and made me nostalgic of football games in Michigan Stadium at the University of Michigan. Thiago scored one last goal in the 84th minute to seal the victory. Barcelona's stats included a 67% time of possession 16 shots on goal, 6 corner kicks, and 5 saves by Victory Valdes. I had a great time during the game and got a real feeling of how great it is to go to a European soccer game. I am so lucky that I am studying in BArcelona so I can follow matches and go to the actual games of the best team in Europe. I have watched every single FC Barcelona soccer game on TV and I will continue to be a huge fan even when I go back to the United States. The picture I have included is a picture of one of my friends overlooking the stadium from our seats.
