If this should be moved to TBLTS, go for it.
I'm studying in Europe this semester and with my post-World Cup soccer interest climbing, I was hoping to catch a top-flight match or two while I'm here. Obviously I want to minimize the costs, but here are my early thoughts on where to go:
- Of the Premier League clubs I've watched, Chelsea has been the most entertaining. Combine that with their convenient location in London (I plan to go there regardless of whether I can get to a match or not), plus Stamford Bridge (which looks gorgeous), they're currently at the top of my list for the Premier League.
- I would love to see Messi play. Combined with the history and tradition of FCB and the Nou Camp, that's a no-brainer to me.
My questions are:
1) I don't know when I'll be back in Europe, so is there one club/stadium I should absolutely try to visit? Is there a specific match that you'd recommend?
2) Would it be worth the hassle of going to a Champions League match (between higher prices and midweek dates)?
3) Is it worth making a trip to Liverpool to see a match at Anfield?
4) Is my best bet for buying (affordable) tickets through each club's website?
I'm still a novice to the sport and it's history and culture so I'm all ears for any advice/recommendations anyone has.
