James Landy ââåthe Daguerreotype Artã¢â❠26 January 1896 Commercial Gazette

There were only two people in Rome who weren't completely sucked in by the enthralling activity of the 2009 Champions League final.

The start was the very desperate housewife, Eva Longoria, who was caught flicking through a magazine during the 2d-half with the same look of disdain and despair equally Maniche faced with a Caesar salad.

The other was the atomic number 82 commentator for Spanish TV aqueduct Antena three, who spent much of the match apologising for the pesky encounter getting in the way of their broadcasting of crap cop show Los Hombres de Paco.

Indeed, as shortly equally the final whistle went on what was a fairly historic night for a sure Catalan club, the channel blocked the screen with a plug for the programme and went off for advertisements for a good 45 minutes. ThatâÂÂs how it felt, anyway.

NEWS: Brilliant Barça crowned kings in Rome

Fortunately for Antena 3, the ending of this seasonâÂÂs fantastic footballing finale means that the station can return to its normal, low-budget, wobbly-set up, grubby little means.

While La Liga Loca was all with the ire later nonetheless another testing time in front of the television receiver, nothing - bar the Spanish regime renaming Catalunya âÂÂRaúllandiaâ - can bring the Catalan printing downwards from their cuckoo-country cloud on Thursday morn.

âÂÂEmperors of Europe!â yells the Mundo Deportivo headline, with the paper reporting that some 100,000 celebrating supporters turned up in the metropolis-centre before the inevitable attacks on the local plod and the 134 arrests.

"Celebrate adept times, come on!"

La Liga Loca has no idea what the paperâÂÂs website says, as the sheer volume of whizzing and popping from its numerous epilepsy-inducing logos and banners caused the blogâÂÂs struggling browser to crash repeatedly.

Sport'south front page says âÂÂThe best in the world!â in Catalan. At least thatâÂÂs what La Liga Loca thinks it says. ItâÂÂs either that or âÂÂThe flour of your mother!âÂÂ

âÂÂBarcelona is the all-time squad in the world and only the Champions League was missing for this fact to be beyond discussion,â writes a hyperventilating Josep Maria Casanovas in a giant-sized gushing tribute to PepâÂÂs Dream Boys.

Over in Madrid, Marca and AS are simply as total of goodwill to all Catalan men - just ruing the fact that while Barcelona were celebrating the greatest day in the clubâÂÂs history, the police force were camped out at Castle Greyskull investigating corruption allegations.

âÂÂBarcelonaâÂÂs football game had no antidote,â writes As editor Alfredo Relaño. âÂÂThe Treble, exquisite football, local players, Guardiola... perfection.âÂÂ

Pep reaches for the stars

MarcaâÂÂs headline declares the current Barcelona squad to be âÂÂa work of artâ and praises the get-go ever Castilian side to win the trio of titles in 1 season.

âÂÂThere can be no doubts,â opines the paperâÂÂs editorial. âÂÂBarcelona are the best team in the world.âÂÂ

Bernd Schuster had been let loose on Manchester UnitedâÂÂs tactical deficiencies during the game, with the sometime Madrid manager telling Sir Alex Ferguson that âÂÂyou canâÂÂt play that abroad against Barça, so far back, with such fearfulness, only waiting for them to come.âÂÂ

Subsequently the game, a truly stunned Pep Guardiola joked that he would exist âÂÂLeaving the club straight away. I canâÂÂt practice anything to height this.âÂÂ

In fact, thatâÂÂs not entirely true. Next yearâÂÂs Champions League concluding is being played at the Bernabeu - a concluding that Barcelona already have every adventure of winning.

Now that would be a sight to meet.
