It was THE most special of European Cup finals on Saturday evening in Berlin as Barcelona claimed their 4th European Cup in 10 seasons with a fabulous 3.1 win over a gallant Juventus side that brought home some very significant profit for bobreaksbookies following an incredible finale in the Olympiastadion in Berlin. As you can see from the photo above I used my free £25 bet (2.5 point equivalent) on Barcelona to win 3.1 at 12/1 odds to complete a fabulous night for Bobookies with 4 of my 7 bets landing including BTTS and over 2.5 goals @7/5, Neymar to score anytime @8/5 and a half point on 3.1, as well as my further free 2.5 on 3.1 Barca. What a result!
I was in a bar in the centre of Barcelona to enjoy the atmosphere and take in the match and when Juventus scored to make it 1.1, I was perhaps the only man celebrating within 10000 kilometres, although it was a very muted and whispered "YES!" into my girlfriends ear when Senor Morata drew the sides level in the second half. At this point it didn't look good for Barca but as I expected, their quality proved too much for the Italians and when Luis Suarez got it to 2.1 for Barca, it felt like it was going to be our night but not even mystic Bo could have predicted such a finale, as Neymar did it again by scoring with the very last kick of the game to bring home 3 bets in 1 moment, securing the 3.1 victory and the wonderful trophy that comes with it. This really was a result written in the stars and I had debated all day whether to go for 3.1 or 2.1 having initially predicted the 2.1 score-line but the absence of Chiellini (and the bigger odds) swung me in the 3.1 direction as well as the wise words of bobookies good Catalan lady who also fancied the more comfortable margin of victory. 10 minutes earlier, when Neymar headed home only to his goal chopped off for handball, I didnt' actually celebrate when i thought he had scored, fearing perhaps that it was a little too early to strike the 3rd goal. I turned to my girl and said "I don't want them to score yet, let them do it in the last minute" not quite believing that such a grand finale would occur. It truly was an extraordinary night in Berlin and in Barcelona as the Catalans had to fight extremely hard on the night to get the 3.1 result that completed their treble for 2015 and brought home some considerable bacon for Bo. Following the match, we headed toward the centre of the city and into Plaza Cataluña where the celebrations were much as you might imagine. 10000's of car horns and a whole load of fireworks being set off in a typically unsafe Spanish way. Health and safety is still an unknown concept in this part of the world. It was a chaotic but beautiful atmosphere in the city and as I walked in my Barca shirt towards the centre, adorned with "ALLAN 30" on the back thanks to a birthday gift a few years earlier, a group of 20 young Barca fans started to chant my name! "ALLAN! ALLAN!"...perhaps they had enjoyed a few shandies, or more likely they were big followers of bobreaksbookies! This was a night I'll never forget and having moved to this great city 3 years ago, it remained an unfulfilled dream of mine to see the Catalans make it to another European final and they couldn't have made it a more spectacular event on a night of glory for Barca and Bo! If I ever should run into Neymar, I will be sure to give that man an extra tight hug! What a player, what a team and what a night! Let's take a look at my final totals for Saturday night.
