The sun set in Barcelona, the prelude to the clash that was scheduled to take place at night in one of the recognized venues of the Catalan City.
The atmosphere at the Spotify Camp Nou on a UEFA Champions League night is always electric, and tonight was no different.
As the sun set over the city, the towering stands of the legendary stadium began to fill with a sea of Blaugrana-clad supporters, their voices merging into a low, expectant hum that rippled through the air.
In the dressing room, the players sat, letting the electric energy seep into their bones, energizing them and one of the FC Barcelona players felt this energy even more as it infused his body like a super serum.
Sam's body was literally shaking, not out of fear, but out of excitement.
As soon as the champions league anthem started playing, the entire stadium erupted, thousands of scarves held high as chants and cheers echoed off the concrete. Sam resonated with all of it.
