Episode No. 16. Al Partio de Football Welcome back to Maru's Spanish. As you recall, in our last episode, I found the wallet of a man called Signor Juan Gomez. I managed to find his address on a business card inside of his wallet. I'm on my way to give it back, walking through the Gothic quarter of Barcelona, my favorite place.

Ah, look, here it is. Numero Catoose. 14. Wow. He has a big Barcelona football club banner hanging from his door. What a legend.

Hello, Acaba de his bigger in the supermarket. I've been to devolversila. He was very happy to see his wallet again.

I'm not surprised. He's just offered me some money, but I'm going to decline. Let me kindly tell him I can't accept. Um, Mr. Juan Gomez,

thanks for offering. But no I can accept the money. Oh my. Juan has just offered me a ticket to

tonight's Barcelona game at home. He insists on giving me a ticket. I mean, if he insists, I have always loved watching this magnificent team.

Sir John Gomez, much more thanks for the bullet. I hope that I have a good time. I just said many thanks for the ticket. I hope you have a good afternoon. I'm thrilled by this unexpected turn of events.

The game starts at 4 p.m. and it's already three. According to my phone, it takes half an hour to arrive by car. That's media hour. Thank goodness it isn't rush hour. I don't want to miss a minute of the action. Hello, taxi, por favor. Buenos d'ardes. Me Gera at the Stadio de Barcelona
