Okay, so what was up with the field? It was like a freakin' swimming pool...
For those of you who don't live here in Madrid, we haven't had rain in quite some time. Beautiful weather, actually (except for and yesterday which have been a bit brisk... I digress).
Now, I'm as happy as the next Madridista that the home team won. But with Barcelona needing to score 3 goals in order to continue, the pitch was perfect to prevent a high-scoring match. I mean it was ridiculous, the players couldn't stay on their feet it was so wet... The ball would shed water when they kicked it and come to a dead stop with a SPLAT in some places.
Is this type of thing common? The most maddening thing is that I figured there would be some sort of uproar about it, but I haven't seen a thing...
