As many of you may know, this year's Real Madrid fútbol team is world famous. It has recruited a few new players with contracts over $100 million... Most noteably Kaká and Ronaldo. We just so happend to be in Madrid for the season opener. No words can describe the significane of this event to the citizens of Madrid. Everyone in the world is talking about Real Madrid. Of course the game is completely sold out, but Jefe (Manelay's dad's new nickname) wants to go... so naturally he finds tickets. And where to we end up sitting? Center field, second row!!!
The experience was incredible. It was my first soccer game ever and let's just say, it made a fan out of me. The game was exciting and the fans were going crazy the entire game. They are completely connected with the team. The relationship is unlike that of any sport in the US. If a goal is made by Real Madrid, the stadium goes nuts... If a goal is about to be made by the other team, it becomes so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. They truly love the sport... They breathe Real Madrid.
To top it all off, Usain Bolt, the world's fastest man who blew the world away in the 2009 Bejing olympics was at the opening ceremony of the game. He ran out to the feild and kicked the ball to start the game. Incredible Day.... ¡Increíble!
