From the Bernabeu to Cibeles
The situation
The story was written and lived in Paris , but the epicenter of the emotion was felt in Madrid. He beat the Bernabéu like never before for La Decimofourta. He pumped Real Madrid from the first hour of the day until the final explosion. Pure feeling overflowing in the white temple. More than 60,000 throats turned the Bernabeu into a Stade de France 2.0. Revelry, tears and joy multiplied by 14. Absolute confidence in the previous. From “The Fourteenth is Here!” to “Tonight the plan is in Cibeles!”. Selfies , scarves, songs and flares in the surrounding streets to add color to the afternoon. And inside, the total show with a giant cube with four screens located in the center of the field. Pure enjoyment for a full stadium. Turn to chant the name of the players. And surrender with each plane of Raúl González, Rafa Nadal and Ronaldo Nazario. The delivered stand. Then the first message would arrive as an insult to Mbappé. The second, direct for PSG.
Game
Music and dance to overcome the delay in the start of the game. And finally lights, action and the carousel of emotions. Scare with Mané’s shot at the stick and applause for Courtois with the saves. And more shouts of encouragement: “Madrid! Madrid! Madrid!” Then the crowd, as crazy as they were, were outraged by Benzema’s disallowed goal. And after a minimal respite, the pulse shot to the sky with Vinicius’ goal. Scarfing and the whole stadium jumping. “What a bounce, what a bounce at the Bernabéu!” And from then until the end, an exercise in mental resistance with the temper of the great nights. Surrendered to Thibaut Courtois. Stop after stop.And with the final whistle the dream was real. Comeback after comeback towards glory. “Reeeyeees from Eurooopa!” , chorused the excited fans. And with the delirium unleashed, it was difficult for the fan to treat victory and defeat alike in the inspiring poem ‘If’ by Rudyard Kipling. In Paris, Ceferin, King Felipe VI and Florentino Pérez, white president, shook hands with the players and placed medals. Until Marcelo arrived. At 11:52 p.m. the “We are the Champions” sounded and the Brazilian lifted the title from him 25 . The Fourteenth was presented in an avalanche as final ecstasy.
