BarcelonaIt had to be at Wembley. As is often the case in great epics, scenarios are important. The places of the facts inspire, they have a meaning. And for Barcelona, Wembley is not just a corner of north-west London. It was the place where in 1992, for the first time, Barça had come out to a Champions League final to enjoy, rather than to suffer a defeat. 10 years ago, Barça returned to the scene. At a Wembley stadium that no longer existed, but at the same time remained the same. 10 years ago, Guardiola’s Barça played one of their most memorable matches, in which they came close enough to defeat Manchester United 3-1 and be able to win their fourth Champions League. It was all so perfect that Carles Puyol, the captain, shared the privilege of lifting the trophy to the London skies with Eric Abidal, who won a final after recovering from a serious illness. It was such a happy night that everyone remembers where it was. These are the historic days. Those in which everyone knows where he was when the events took place. And everyone knows where he was when Pedro, Villa and Messi sent them to hell red devils English.
