Barcelona 3 Hearts 1

I was part of Hearts' biggest ever 'home' crowd today at Murrayfield to see them play Barcelona.

We didn't entirely embarrass ourselves, but, I hate to say it, we were completely outclassed. If it hadn't been for Barca's style and skill it would have been a real wasted afternoon.
Ronaldinho seened like he was on fastforward compared to even his own team mates, taking every ball with the big trademark grin.
Henry gracefully seemed to float from pass to pass.
I just don't like Murrayfield for football, even if it does mean Hearts can command a crowd of nearly 58,000. It's not 'home' and it never will be - Tynecastle is the heart and soul of the club (Romanov take note!)
The atmosphere in the stadium was strange to say the least, very low key and even less singing than at a usual Hearts game. The players were probably getting the lacklustre vibe back at them in huge waves, so it's no real surprise they didn't play their best.

This picture shows the first of the pitch invaders (the one who didn't look like a jakey!)
He gave Ronaldinho a hat and a handshake and the police gave him longer than the usual invader before they accosted him.
He had a URL on his shirt
www.freealbert.com
and from the looks of his website he's a regular on the European football scene- any Portugese speakers out there that can tell me what he's all about?!
