Local News; Barca beats Real madrid, april 27th


FC Barcelona won todays match 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid, Spain. It was the 1st leg of the Semi Finals for these two clubs. although the first half was boring, it started to pick up after half time. Then, at half time, the fun started. A fight between the two teams erupted on the sideline, and Jose Pinto, the Substitute Keeper for FC Barca who was not even playing got a Red Card!(http://worldsoccerzone.wordpress.com/2011/04/27/fc-barcelona-wins-over-real-madrid-cf/)  Then, later on  Sergio Ramos got a yellow card, Dani Alves was injured, and Pepe was first shown a Yellow Card, then a Red Card after still not listening. The yellow cards did not end here,  Yellow Card for Messi and then  Ronaldo got a  Free Kick. While all of this was happening, this entire game became extremely tense Things got even more tense. King Messi, returned the ball and , kicked the ball past a defender and Iker Casillas into the goal. 1-0. Then, Messi got control of the ball, once again to bring it to a . 2-0, final score.
-- of course i do not know much about soccer so i learned all of this from a website, although i could hear from my aparently the cheers and chants and fireworks and jumping and screaming of the people in the streets. This is a great example of local news, because local barcelona fans are truly indebted to this sport and love it with all of their heart.It was really cool to be able to be here during these later legs of the champions league games, i know that this is a big deal to the people here, and getting to be in a bar and hear all of the chants during the first half was a really cool experience.
