I'm a big fan of football (soccer, that is). Just love it. Of all the teams in the world i'm a die-hard fan of AC Milan; in England i support Manchester United; used to support Bayern Munich in Germany because i worshipped Oliver Kahn after the 2002 World Cup. But i'm missing the point of this post.
I'm typing this post right after watching a football match between Frankfurt vs Bayern Munich. Which Bayern lost 2-1. But before typing anything further, a little history. In the Champions League final of 1999 a legendary match occured, Manchester United met Bayern Munich at the Camp Nou (home stadium of FC Barcelona, which has a maximum seating capacity of 98000). On the 6th minute Mario Basler scored for Bayern, looked comfortable throughout the match, limited Man Utd to few chances. But what made this match legendary is that in the final few minutes, of extra time(!), Manchester scored 2 and won the match 2-1 (completing the treble of trophies, etc etc). Back to today Bayern have just lost a match 2-1, again at the last few minutes of normal time though (87th min. and 89th min.) Deja Vu? It definitely was for me.
Coincidentally, Manchester United and Bayern Munich are set to meet again in the Champions League but for a quarter-finals tie this time, just a few days before the Frankfurt game. Did that game show that the ghost of Manchester United are still haunting Bayern Munich perhaps? Is it really a coincidence that a few days after the quarter-finals draw was made, Bayern Munich lost their first game in 19 games in a fashion so unbelievably similar to THAT game nearly 11 years ago? Is this an omen that there'll be another Bayern Munich Deja Vu come April? I really hope so.
Manchester United for the win! Goodbye~~~
