I can’t let the week end without mentioning Wednesday evening, when one of the most incredible football matches I’ve ever watched took place in Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium.
For those of you who don’t follow football at all, it was the second leg of the Quarter Final of the Champions League, and City were playing my beloved Tottenham Hotspur.
Spurs held a slender 1-0 advantage after the first leg, not something I anticipated for one second we would hold on to, for City at home are an awesome opponent, who we’ve come unstuck against on many occasions over the past few years.
The match kicked off at 20:00 hours, and what happened over the next couple of hours was exciting, breath-taking, tense, controversial, and goals, lots of goals – in short, every thing a football fan hopes for in a game. A great advertisement for the game, Bryan.
Bit of a spoiler on the title of this clip, mind:
I’ve been a bit wary of VAR up until now, but now I bloody love it.
We play City again later today, in the Premiership. I absolutely expect them to have their revenge and absolutely batter us.
But until then, something to appease City’s fans, an olive branch if you will:
More soon.
