Messi and the "theatre of the good" in London in front of Mourinho, fulfil 15 years

15 years fulfil from that night of magic in Stamford Bridge. It sighed the football because Zidane, Figo, Rivaldo, Davids and a lot of other phenomena of the balompié began to show the last years of his career, arrinconados by the invincible calendar that goes us leaving without stars each season.

But of each dead star is born a new and the same raisin in the football. Because in that then there was Chelsea fill of important players by dint of petrodólares and a wonderful project directed by Abramovich and Mourinho. And in front, a Barcelona that in 2006 was a big team of the hand of Frank Rijkaard.

Ronaldinho Was the leader beyond all doubt. His dribblings, magic and smile exasperated and loved at the same time, although this day, Rijkaard showed courage to give him space to a small canterano that came to break what rival crossed in the inferior: Lionel Messi. The small and small Argentinian put the casaca culé and began the concert.

15 years ago, in a 22 February like the one of today, happened this: the first time of Messi in Stamford Bridge.

The main viewer was Asier Of the Oven, that sure dreamed with Tango and cuts that night, because the of Messi by the right band of the Barcelona was an authentic recital. Or a nightmare if we see it from the point of view of the Spanish.

Until three rivals marked to "The Flea" but anybody reached it, was impredecible, did not fall with patadas and pushes. Claro, unless you planted the swearwords of full in his knee or captured it between two bodies. Maybe like this, it fell , but only to raise and show that the fuel was inagotable.

Red for Of the Oven, 2-1 for the Barcelona and first duel with Mou. "Catalonia knows of theatre, and this was theatre of the well", left the Portuguese in press conference, taking advantage of to ask if it would be well play the turn. It did it with the subliminal matrix that the referees protected to the Barcelona, but also there will be the one who think that it did not want to confront again to Messi.

That night of 2006 was the start of a current legend of blue and grana, a big hit of authority of a team that would finish being champion of Europe and a fateful night for one of the best English teams of the last years. Today, Messi follows accumulating victims like Asier, although it no longer matters if it is in the band or in the centre of the field.

Future rivalry

Here gestó the first big duel between Mourinho and the Barcelona, that years afterwards signed by the Real Madrid and carried his rivalry to Tito, to Pep and to any figure of authority culé in the field, feeding duels quite intense and spicy that raised a lot dust between both clubs and finished for resolving with Xavi and Boxes. Still it thinks that this happened bill to the Spanish goalkeeper.
