It was ecstasy and sheer relief as the tension finally broke, when Paul Scholes lashed home from outside the area after latching on to Xavi's stray ball. In the wee hours of the morning, a loud "whoo-hoo" rang out from unit #10-2911 in Paya Lebar Way. I jumped up and down like a crazy man, waking my dad and brother up. It's not often since the Malaysia Cup days that I have felt so passionate over a football match on TV. Barcelona vs Man Utd, this was the big one. Then more tension and trepidation, as Man Utd sat back to protect their lead, one goal would take Barca through and they began to look dangerous with that little Wizard Lionel Messi pulling the strings. Half Time unscathed at 1-0 was met with a huge sigh of relief.
