Half time came with the local team leading 1-0 and so i checked my phone for messages and was told that we were in advanced talks to sign Marlon King i thought damn i have come all this way and may have found a player that with a bit of advise from our world class coaching staff could be a real hit. Anyway i didn't let that stop me checking out for any other possible stars but unfortunately i came to the conclusion that there attacking full back Alves wasn't in the same league as Westlake or McMahn so i ignored him as well as some other lads from the lcoal side Naymar, Sanchez, Iniesta i just didn't think would cut it. I still could take my eyes off this Messi lad though he had a great touch and on 55 mins grabbed his 2nd of the game, i then started to think maybe he could fit in along side King i knew this meant fans favourite PORTER may have to be sold but i thought Messi was worth the risk. There was also a centre half called Pique that could be good for cover for the rock Maguire and he popped up on 68 mins to score with a header.
It was clear now that this local team FC Barcelona were far superior to the lads from Holland and i did begin the wonder if they might be worth asking over for a friendly next summer as i really think they'd give us a game. As the game went one the lad Messi got better and better and he grabbed his third on 75 minutes and the game was over, Messi had been the difference and i headed straight towards the dressing room for a chat with the lad Messi but unfortunately could get past security i left a message saying that i thought my club Sheffield United would be interesting in him but it was clear they wanted to keep hold of him so i do hope that we could do a deal at maybe 250k plus Porter.
All in all i enjoyed the experience and the crowd was surprisingly slightly bigger than ours at 79,000. Ajax had little to offer but did miss a penalty that would have only been a consolation goal for them, i didn't really scout there side as there would be no chance that any of there players could make the huge step up to league 1.
