A bomb scare at the game tonight caused the match to be abandoned with only a few minutes left in the game. See here (http://www.reuters.co.uk/newsArticle.jhtml?type=worldFootballNews&storyID=7065552)

it crossed my mind that if someone had a huge bet on say real madrid to win
it would be in their interest to see the game abandoned with 3 mins left and the game looking like a draw.

there were a series of floodlight failures in premiership games for a while with a similar motive.

When I went to see Real play about 2 years ago about half of the floodlights went out after about 20 min. I nearly had a heart atack! Thankfully the game went on though :)
