Paris Saint-Germain face Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-final. 3,000 tickets reserved for Parisian supporters were gone in a handful of seconds.
Gabriel, 25, managed to secure a place for the match in front of the Montjuc stadium. 'I had never traveled to Europe in my life,' says Gabriel. 'It was a unique moment that I gave myself with a lot of nerve and a little bit of luck.' Gabriel was one of around fifty supporters in the second queue at the ticket office. "I started to make friends with a fan in front of me in the queue. To maximize our chances and make things go faster, he decided to take our places and asked me to make a transfer to him. I didn't know him two minutes before," he says. Gabriel "We arrived in the park at 8:50 p.m., so I didn't even miss a minute of the match. "It's going to be a long day,' he says, yawning. "I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS EVENING' "My goal was to join the procession of Parisian supporters along the way, to enjoy the atmosphere, then tell myself that with a little luck I would have a place. " At that moment, I told myself that there were too many of us, that there wouldn't be enough withdrawals and that it would never go away. "
