The Treble Is Barça's
Wednesday, 27 May 09, 05:19 PM
I've gone over some of the recent articles on the match, and in the other room can be heard Sky Sports as they repeatedly dissect tonight's game. Considering all the hype this past week or so one would've thought that the Catalan club had their work cut out for them, and that it was Man Utd's to lose. What people should've been paying attention to though were the odds being given by the betting sites. That suggested a far more level impression of how this Champions League Final might go. In the end even their assessment may have been generous to the Premiership club, because except for those first ten minutes of the match, FC Barcelona owned the pitch.
Hell, it went even better than I expected. At the whistle, as I sat nervously, stuffing my mouth with popcorn at breakneck pace, it looked like the guys in white were...

With Los Merengues' loss to the Yellow Submarine, Barça have now attained the Double this season. Yes, that's great and all, but it's not historic. Others have done the Double before, including FCB in 05/06. But, the Treble, now that's a whole other kettle of fish. Nobody's done the Treble in La Liga. Ever. On 27 May the Blaugrana will have their shot at history when they meet Manchester United.
It should prove to be a very tough match against a fast, skillful attacking side with a manager of no small tactical acumen. Iniesta and Henry are working hard to be fit for the Champions League final, but one has to assume the worst on that subject. It's all about preparation now with 13 days to achieve as much.

Over 30 years ago, this American came to love the sport by way of Guam. It may have been pivotal that his first coach was a Spaniard with the self-declared moniker of 'Don Pedro'. Since then, the love of tiki-taka and all things La Liga has been foremost. This especially applies to Barça.
