Imagine you receive a christmas card. You’ve probably tried before, but imagine that it comes from one of the world’s biggest football clubs.
It was, what happened to the OB for 25 years ago when there suddenly was a map from the mighty FC Barcelona in the letterbox.
the Salute was due to the fact that OB had previously beaten FC Barcelona evighedsrival, Real Madrid out of the UEFA Cup earlier in the year. It writes the TV 2 Sport.
OB qualified after having lost at home 3-2, among other things after a goal by Michael Laudrup, who at that time played in Real Madrid. But OB got on a sensational show turned it all upside down, as the team won 2-0 in Madrid in a battle, later known as ‘the Miracle in Madrid.’
Later, FC Barcelona thank you note allowed to stand in the træneromklædningen.
But it was not only the Danish club, who got the Catalan gratitude to mark.
Goalkeeper Lars Høgh, who, incidentally, was a brandkamp at the ‘Miracle in Madrid’, took shortly after the fight on holiday in Spain, where he, to his great surprise, found a large basket with assorted goodies in his room.
To her even greater surprise, it was not a mistake, that the basket was in his room. It was from the hotel owner, who was a Barcelona fan.
the Rivalry between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are huge, and you can feel in the evening, when the two teams meet in one of the sport’s greatest events worldwide.
Originally it was played in the middle of October, but it has been moved because of the political turmoil in Catalonia.
It also means that the match is being played under yet greater sikkerhedsforbehold than usual. Around 3,000 security personnel are mobilized only at the Camp Nou, where the match is being played, just like the players, coaches, and judges brought together for tonight’s game.
