Monday 24 May
Arrived Barcelona. Checked in hotel off Catalunya square. Night on Ramblas with United supporters.

Tuesday 25 May
Spent whole day & night on & around Ramblas with thousands of United supporters. NO ROOM for the Germans! Daughter joined us after flying in from UK.

Wednesday 26 May
More eating, drinking & sightseeing. Late afternoon, took Metro to the stadium. By chance, met the guys from Wales again (our mates in the Stretford end). Watched the most amazing match ever. German supporters left stadium in tears! Spent ALL NIGHT drinking our way back to city centre.
Who put the ball in the German’s net? Ole Gunnar Solskjaer!’ WE WON THE TREBLE!!!!
