The Day My Dream Came True

Anyone that knows me knows that I am a huge futbol (soccer) fan. I enjoy getting up bright and early just to watch the premier league every weekend. However every sports fan has their team and FC Barcelona is my number one. I fell in love with FCB the very first I watched them play. And then add the great Lionel Messi to the mix, I was gone. I was actually not much of a futbol fan a couple years ago. It was till the world cup that I became a huge supporter. It was watching Messi play that made me into the fan I am today. This is why September 18th 2013 will always be very special to me. It was the day I watched FCB play a Champions League match at one of the greatest stadiums of all time, the Camp Nou in Barcelona.
I am not going to lie, one of the main reasons I chose to study here in Barcelona was because of the love I have for the team. I just really wanted to live it, be close to it. However I never really actually saw myself going to a game as a real possibility. I just kept saying I would love to go while there but couldnt actually see myself there. Well it did happen and I was able to go watch my team play! It was an experience like no other. For other futbol fans like my friend who accomponied me, the game and the atmosphere fell short of expectation. But not for me. I am an FCB fan who had only ever dreamt of being at the Camp Nou. It was everything and more for me. And then to top it all off my man Lionel Messi goes on to score a hat-trick while I am there. It was PERFECTION for me! I could not believe what I was witnessing. Had I just walked by the famous La Masia? Did I really watch Messi score a free-kick goal right infront of me? Did I die and go to heaven for those 90mins? I don't even know but it was more than likely one of the few moments of true happiness I have ever experienced in my life so far. I smiled my whole way home and even now just writing about it makes me smile.
Dream do come true, now I know that and I will never forget it. Keep dreaming people because that crazy dream of yours just might come true!!!
