Dundee Utd Vs Barcelona 2008


I'm gonna go off the topic again with this post as i thought i'd share my exitement about this months friendly clash between Barcelona and Dundee United on 26th July. I bought my ticket today and can't wait to see the European Championships best player Xavi and his team mates at Tannadice again. It will also be a chance to see the worlds most expensive right back in the world Daniel Alves up close after he signed from Sevilla for 23.5 million.

I went to the game last year when United were very unlucky to lose 1-0 with Henry scoring a rebound from his penalty after his initial effort was saved. This was moments after Barry Robson (now Celtic) had a perfectly good goal ruled out. Hopefully we can beat them this time and exact revenge for last year! COME ON UNITED!


*UPDATE* 28/07/08 I went to the game on saturday and i was delighted with how Dundee United played. We lost 5-1 to the mighty Catalans but the scoreline didn't really reflect how the game went. Dundee United took the lead after a header from Ghanaian midfielder Prince Bauben but Henry equilased 60 seconds later when i was still celebrating. In the 2nd half they brought on Lionel Messi and he ran the show. He grabbed a fantastic hat-trick and got a standing ovation from the Utd fans. Samuel Eto'o scored the other goal.

Thanks Vincent. The only advantage we have is we will be half way through our pre-season and they will just be starting theirs.
