After I had seen yesterday's football match between F.C. Barcelona and London Arsenal, with a bittersweet final result (2-2), after a match nearly entirely dominated by Barcelona's players. That pissed me off, so I went to bed in a very bad mood. By the way, I have left seeing football news at the Sports Media. It is something quite a lot stupid, and I know, it would be better if i take it easy, but I'm already tired of seeing the same weird news saying once and again thinks like "we left them escape alive"... I already know that, and I don't want to see repeatedly how my favourite football team failed at the worst moment of the match. By now, tonight I have seen another kind of match, a Euroleague basketball match between F.C. Barcelona and Real Madrid. Yes, I love basketball and handball too! And I'm very lucky, because my team has got football section, handball section, basketball section and much more... and all of them are quite amazing.
A couple hours ago, I was thinking about writing something similar to a sports article, but I realized that I have no idea about how to set a sports report, so I looked for some of them in St. Google. And, since we are at it, we'll try to do it as well as possible!
Barcelona team has won the Euroleague Quarter Finals against Real Madrid. They played the best three out of five games (It took Barcelona 4 games to won the series). I guess that game two losses was little more than a speed bump, eh? Anyone who supposed that FC Barcelona was vulnerable after getting taken down by Real Madrid last week can again forget doubts about Xavi Pascual’s team after last two nights’ dominating performance against their ACB league rivals.
The plain truth is that despite Madrid’s game two victory –in fact, paradoxically maybe because of the win– it becomes increasingly clear (as the 2009-10 approaches to its conclusion) that the gap between these two teams is quite significant indeed. While Madrid had to go all out and expend all available resources in beating a team that shot 33 percent from the floor in their worst time, Barça has handled Madrid decisively in five games of six between the teams this season.
Tonight, Barcelona started worse than on the previous match, Madrid arrived to a 17-13 run in the first quarter, but they took the lead for a short time. The time continued running out in a much equalized game and by the time it was 41-45, but Barcelona was on cruise control. The 3rd and 4t quartes continued much equalized too, but Madrid never could catch Barcelona. Finally, Barcelona won, with a better player’s rotation and a better interior-exterior game balance. Real Madrid never gave the sensation that they could win the match. The final score of 78-84 was hardly indicative of the one-sidedness of this match. But see for yourself; short and long versions of the highlights will show you: scarcely featuring Madrid’s Sergi Llull and Felipe Reyes, and just about every Barça player, including Erazem Lorbek, Ricky Rubio (amazing tonight), Pete Mickeal, Gianluca Basile, Fran Vázquez and especially Juan Carlos Navarro.
Nobody could stop us until now, so... we are going to the from 7th to 9th May's Final Four in Paris!
