Mama Mia.
And I thought Bayern vs Madrid that ended 4-3 was going to be the game of the season.
This one was even better. It had everything. The goalies made many saves, the defenders were good, but the forwards were just too potent. Incredible goals. Fantastic football.
To beat PSG, you have to do something special. And if any team can produce something special, it’s Bayern. The second leg promises to be explosive.
BTW, it seems Spain has colonized the world of sports in a subtle way.
Everybody is shouting VAMOS now. A Spanish word that means “Come on”, is now being shouted by the French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Scandinavian, and other athletes. Even Germans are shouting vamos now, lol. Only the English speaking countries have not fully embraced this trend (though a few have also been observed shouting vamos).
I was amused to see PSG goal scorers Dembele (French) , Neves (Portuguese), and even Kvara (Kazakhstani) shouting vamos after scoring. Perhaps they are influenced by their Spanish gaffer, Luis Enrique.
Maybe one day, athletes will be shouting OYA or BIANU or KU ZO, abi na ZO MANA.
Imagine Lamine Yamal shouting OYA after scoring a goal. Hehehehe!
For that to happen, Nigeria must be more visible in the sporting world. A good way to achieve this is to ensure qualification for world cup tournaments.
