Standing in the cold for 2 hours, alone (we are all slaves to companionship, don't deny it) for these tickets was now going to be worth it.
So, there we are running a little late, but it's fine, we're getting to the Bernabeu. Legends played here. A club that has so much history, Chelsea, Man City and the others have nothing compared to it. Of course, in recent times it hasn't been as cultured as it was, but we'll forgive them for that.
People to look out for were:
1) Cristiano Ronaldo. Yes, we just love to hate him but love him even more all along.
2) Jose Mourinho. I never thought I'd fall in love with this guy. But now that's he's not with Chelsea, it's fine. It's allowed, permitted, whatever.
3) Xavi Alonso. Even though we don't like the scousers, one must say Alonso is amazing and he's not one anymore so he's not vermin anymore.
4) Iker Casillas. Why not, you know? He is very hot. And was the goalkeeper of the winning team in the World Cup.
5) Karim Benzema. Now, now, he's never played for an English club so we have nothing to compare him too, but nevertheless, he's one to watch out for, eh?
So, what happens in the match?
3 of the above score.
1 of them gets sent off by the stupid referee and has to coach from the stands. Fun for the spectators sitting there though.
And the other has to face a penalti which he lets through. Yes, I am going to spell penalti like that because it's so Spanish.
So what makes the stadium experience better than tv other than the fact that it's actually being there?
You know the crowd noises that seem to annoy old people when you are watching the match, you are one of them, yes, one of the screaming fanatics. And it's alright because everyone's yelling or booing or cheering. It might all seem the same on tv but not in there. In there, you know what they are saying and trust me it's not PG 13.
And yes, Real Madrid won 5-1. So it was an interesting, lively game. All for 10 euros.
All in all, it was a hell of a night.
