This was our first live soccer (or football as they call it here) match ever and boy was it an experience!
Back in November last year, we started looking for a local club to be a member of for without a membership, it's almost impossible to get tickets to good games, especially against big names like Manchester United. Having narrowed down our options to Chelsea and Arsenal, we decided to go with Arsenal in the end, mainly so that we can get tickets to this game against Man U.
Being Arsenal members, we thought it's just fitting that we should support Arsenal so we bought ourselves an Arsenal scarf each as a sign of our support for this game. And with this our scarfs, we yelled and cheered along through the game with all the other Arsenal supporters.
Emirates stadium, Arsenal's home stadium, was quite impressive. Though not as gigantic as Real Madrid's stadium, which we visited on our Madrid trip, it was impressive nonetheless! The seats we got were at the very top of the corner. Despite the poor sounding location, we were actually quite surprised by how good the seats were. The actual seats themselves were also quite good, with good padding, ample surface area, and plenty of leg room.
When Arsenal scored their only goal of the match, the whole stadium jumped up and let out a deep victorious roar! That alone was worth every penny it cost us to get there!
Disappointingly though, Arsenal lost in the end, but to us, it was a great experience nonetheless!!!
