I was the biggest idiot in the whole world during that Road to Istambul.
I watched every game in the same room (my brother's room at the time) and tried to stay in the same position if possible - I also liked to be alone so other people wouldn't annoy me and make even more nervous than I already was.
During the semifinal vs Chelsea, my brother was watching the game in my room while I watched it on his (makes no sense, but I forced him to accept that arrangement). My brother was watching on open tv while I had cable tv on - which means I was maybe 2 or 3 seconds behind as there's always some delay with cable tv.
In those final moments when Gudjohnsen had an open goal (and missed), my brother shouted "NOOOOOO!" very loudly and I could hear him from the other room. Obviously for those 2-3 seconds I thought Chelsea had scored. When I finally saw the ball go wide, my first reaction was to run towards my brother calling him all the names I could think of - the b***ard had nearly killed me!
Then in the final, I started watching the game on my brother's room as I did during the whole campaign but since everything started going wrong in that 1st half and we were quickly 3 goals behind, I changed to my own room. If the lights were off, I turned them on; the computer was off, so I turned it on; if a door was closed, I would open it - in my brain, we needed a change so I tried to change everything I could (seriously).
That means I ended up watching us win the UCL in my room, and from the moment of Gerrard's goal until the final Dudek save, I stayed in the very same spot in my bed, trying to move as little as possible, because it was "working". Freakin idiot I was.
I'm not like that anymore - these days I only have a superstition with penalties (I never watch them, usually close my eyes) - but those were natural, crazy reactions I had during that campaign and if any of it made any difference in the universe's balance and helped us win the European Cup, then it was all worth it
Oh, and that Luis Garcia goal - I was running around the apartment like a lunatic!
