And so it begins: Barcelona 1 - Bayern 0
Wednesday, August 15, 2007
This was only a friendly game and not part of La Liga, but what a goal. Messi is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world.
I'm looking forward to Barcelona winning the Champions and La Liga. :)
BTW, I think the commentators in the video are speaking
Catalan. Catalan is a
variant of Spanish [thanks Jordi] language, rooted in Latin, spoken in the northern part of Spain.
I didn't know I could speak Catalan, too. Well, at least understand it. Note that this is not big feat, as anyone who speaks Spanish likely understands Portuguese, Italian, Catalan, very little French, some Latin, and Caliche.
Comments:
Bayern played with wrong goalkeeper. Oli Kahn would have prevented it :-)
I don't know Axel. It was a good but lucky shot, and the Bayern goaly stretched quite far...
Catalan is a languages that comes from Latin, as Spanish, Italian or Portuguese. Is not a dialect of Spanish. See:
