Last May, Barcelona thrashed arch rivals Real Madrid 6-2 in a domestic game and then days later beat Chelsea with a last minute goal by Andres Iniesta, to reach the Champions League final.
Nine months later, Barcelona maternity hospitals are full to overflowing as the city experiences a 45% surge in births. According to El Mundo newspaper, the increase is directly associated with Barca’s success in May 2009 and the babies are know as the ‘Iniesta Generation.’
In England, such a victory would probably result in a massive, drunken brawl but in Spain football fans prefer to get home for a bit of loving, though now Barcelona supporters are feeling the pinch as impending fatherhood has left many unable to afford their new season tickets.
