It was Twain's third time at Camp Nou, and it felt more intense than the previous two times because the nearly eighty thousand home fans were booing the Forest team with imposing momentum. The last time he was here, he did not receive such a warm welcome. What happened today was all to the Catalan media's credit.
As the Barcelona players walked into the stadium, the fans were still chanting Barcelona's team song, singing at a crescendo. Every one of the eighty thousand people chanted "Barça! Barça! Bar-ça!" Then when they saw the Nottingham Forest players ran onto the pitch, these people uniformly burst into shrill boos like they were one person.
"What a welcoming host." Twain laughed.
