When FC Barcelona came to Manchester for Champions League action, tours of Manchester United’s Old Trafford sold out for days. It also prompted this hilarious soundbite:
“I didn’t realise until about 5 years ago that Manchester had two teams. I thought Manchester United were the only one.” – Dani Alves
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Anyway, Man City lost to Barca 2-0 and the next day, looked who showed up at old Trafford, a referee from that UEFA Champions League match.
