Disappointment in Rome












The Champions of Europe: A distant dream not to be

Now I finally know what it means to support a football team. It means to support them even when they lose, in a cup final as important as the Champions League. The heartbreak simply breaks the heart, in all ways imaginable like how Barcelona tore them apart, the team that i have grown to idolize and love over the past year. Players whose names appeared on the scoresheets so regularly failed to deliver this morning, and success which is so often associated with Manchester United, simply did not arrive anywhere near our doorstep tonight. 

Champions on so many occasions but losing out on this all important one, hurts deeper than any other loss i have felt so far during my time in soccer. They say success is built upon the brink of failure. If that is so, i sincerely hope Manchester United bounce back next season stronger than ever, and reclaim what is rightfully ours. Until then, they will forever live in my heart with all the makings of the strongest & most passionate team the footballing world has ever seen. 


Glory, glory, Man United!

If you love someone...

The first thing you will think of when she kicks your leg is whether her leg hurts.
