I don't get to watch live football (soccer) very often. I don't watch or have TV (satellite or cable).
In fact, last time was back in April when I saw Barcelona play Real Madrid in the Champions League (see
Messi Magic).
But today I was on a flight that had DirecTV (satellite). Usually, I'm not on a plane that shows free live TV on its entertainment network. But I happened to tune into Fox Sports and they were showing
AC Milan play
Barcelona - the best club team in the world - live in the Champions League. What a treat!
I also noticed that Barcelona were sporting
Qatar Foundation sponsorship on their shirts, see above photo of the shirt of a Barca player congratulating
Lionel Messi on his penalty goal (
which he had to re-take and which he got booked for). Coincidentally, this is the same outfit that is sponsoring my trip. (See
here.)
I felt guilty I wasn't working but it was an entertaining and gripping match. Some great goals, especially from
Xavi,
Prince-Boateng and
Ibrahimovic. I watched the live game until the plane landed in Newark Liberty. I didn't catch the end, but at minute 85, Barcelona was still leading the Italian side 3-2. I assumed they won. They certainly dominated possession.
The only thing better than this for in-flight entertainment would be free internet access on board.
