Barcelona looked unstoppable in the 2nd half.
Now they look clueless.

A goalkeeper that intercepted through balls over the high line would help a lot.
They will soon be dancing on the streets of Intermilan.
Superb entertainment 
Grrrr. Barca chuck it away.
Great game though. Not sure I've seen a better 2 legged match.

Jamie Murphy on the scoresheet for Ayr United in the Scottish Champions ̶L̶e̶a̶g̶u̶e̶ Ship play offs tonight.
Brilliant game. Two sides that gave everything and the atmosphere was amazing. Wish the Amex was like that

I watched an interview with Fratessi after the game. He had impressively good English, especially for someone who hasn't played or lived abroad and comes form a country where the general population isn't particularly renowned for it's English ability.
Which got me thinking, he's not the only foreign player that has good English. Some it's because they've played in England or in countries where English might be the dominant language in the dressing room or because they come from a country that has a high level of English generally(Scandinavia, Holland etc).
Those guys I can understand having a certain level of English. But players like Fratessi? How come? How come so many players like Fratessi - players from non English speaking countries who have only played in their country - can speak decent English? Where have they learnt conversational fluency? I'd understand if it was basic football phrases needed to communicate with refs but to hold a full interview in English and deal with people with wildly varying accents to boot?
It can't be because of what they learnt in school. Italy as a nation doesn't have great English. Nor do many other countries yet their players often do.
