Forgiving is one crucial trait that each and every person should have. Things do happen! some deliberately while others without our knowledge. Sometimes it depends on the depth of the hurt someone has caused. All in all, forgiveness is important.
Everyone saw how Liverpool outrightly humiliated Barcelona at Anfield. Perhaps many viewed it as the nature of football and it can happen to any club.
But Barca fans did not take the incident lightly and their actions speak volume.
During their match last Sunday against top-four chasing Getafe, the Blaugrana managed to thrash the visitors 2-0 at Nou Camp in their first match after being disgraced by Liverpool.
Sunday’s result meant little to Barca, who clinched an eighth Liga title in 11 seasons two weeks ago, but it could prove fatal to Getafe’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League for the first time as they dropped to fifth.
Barcelona’s Chilean Arturo Vidal opened the scoring near the end of the first half, poking a loose ball home after Gerard Pique’s flicked header was parried by Getafe keeper David Soria.
Barca’s second came in the 90th minute thanks to an own goal after captain Lionel Messi combined with Sergi Roberto and beat two players before his shot got a final touch off Mauro Arambarri.
But what surprised many was the unappealing attendance by Barca fans. Only 57,000 people turned up at the 99,000 capacity ground, which turned into a forum for fans to vent their frustrations at Barca’s 4-0 second-leg surrender at Anfield on Tuesday as they went out of Europe’s elite club competition 4-3 on aggregate.
Barcelona now looks forward to facing Valencia for the final of Copa Del Rey, a match that Messi and his team will use to redeem their image.
