Assignment 21: Sara Ueland

At this very moment, all of the PSG fans around the globe are still in tears over their UEFA Champions League loss to Barcelona. In the first leg, PSG started off strong with a 4-0 win against Barcelona at their own stadium, Camp Nou. This set up PSG on a dinner platter to advance to the round of 8. At this point, there is little hope for Barcelona advancing as they have to win their next game by 5 goals on aggregate.
While all the French were celebrating their victory over the renowned Spanish team, Barcelona was smashing teams 5-0, 6-1 in La Liga. All of this preparation and excellence by the top 3 scorers: Messi, Suarez, and the crowd favorite, Neymar Jr. kept them on the right mindset when going head-to-head against PSG in the second leg later that week. On March 8th Barcelona made history with the best comeback since the NBA finals. With a couple of dives here and there mixed in with Messi's godliness Barcelona pulled out a 6-1 win at PSG. In this moment all the fans in the stadium erupt with happiness. Every Barcelona fan all around the world is gleaming with joy and their pride and love for the beautiful game grows stronger than ever. This moment shows how important sports can be to a group of individuals and how even when little hope is present, loyalty and passion for your team will take you as far as you want to go. And well Messi of course it doesn't hurt to have him.
