Barcelona's cathedral

Futbol is in full swing here, with the the spanish league, UEFA champion leagues and national U21's in play. Today the town is invaded by germans supporting "Schalke '04" as they play FC Barcelona tonight. There are major churches here, but the joke is that the main church is actually Camp Nou. Inasmuch as it is true that sports makes a major source of discussion and fervor in North America, it is really true here. Camp Nou is the home of FC Barcelona, and the picture is of the chapel inside the stadium and with the help of the replica of the Virgin of Montserrat and the belssings of Pope John Paul, the team has done well. The current saints, Ronaldihno, Messi and Puyol, lead the team and the expectation are to see them in the finals.
