Very late commemoration of FC Barcelona's first ever European title.

On may 1st 1958 the finals of a tournament took place over the course of 3 years had ended, and the criteria is that 1 team from several European cities were allowed to take part in the tournament. As a result, the numerous London clubs needed to come to a settlement on who will be the cities representative in 1958.

Eventually, a London 11 was created. 11 of the cities best club players plus subs, specifically to play in the tournament.

We also took part in the tournament, and after defeating Birmingham City in the semi finals, the London 11 were our opponents.
that is the badge of the London XI

The first leg was at Stamford Bridge, a tight 2-2 draw was the result, and it looked like anyone's game in Leg 2.

that wasn't the case.. the Blaugrana ran riot at camp nou, showing no mercy to win 6-0 and grab their first continental honor ever.

Im about 18 days late in celebrating the anniversary of this game.

But i thought it would be cool to bring it up.

London XI was a great idea, the actual London XI would be scary.
