Despite the fact that it kicked off at 3am in the morning i was never going to miss the chance of seeing Man Utd getting embarrased on the world's biggest stage so a few mates and I made our way to O'Malleys (a large Irish Pub) to watch the Champions League Final. You had to pay 100 Yuan (about £9) to get in but that included your first two pints and despite this there must have been 300/400 people there. The atmosphere was pretty amazing: being Asia the pub was mostly full of man united fans but there was also a good pocket full of Barcelona supporters who gave their all in trying to compete in chanting competitions.

Anyhow it was a great night - by the time it finished it was 5am and we were high on euphoria and the 6/7 pints we'd drank so made our way to McDonalds for some breakfast and to watch the sun rise - laughing at the crying manchester united fans on the way....
