Watching a Champions League game in a box

Last month I traveled to Lisbon, Portugal. A friend invited me to a UEFA Champions League football (soccer) game, in which Benfica defeated the visiting Celtic by 1-0.

This was the first time I watched a Champions League match live, and it was the first time I watch it from a box. It is such a fantastic experience.

I had not had much chance to watch football games of clubs from Portugal, but I did know Benfica is one of the best Portuguese clubs. In the CL game I watched, I recognized a few players such as former AC MILAN star Rui Costa (who returned to Benfica about a year ago) and the 18-year-old former MLS all-star Freddy Adu.
