GGGGGGGGOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!
What would a trip to Europe be without going to a fútbol game? One day after class, I ran into some friends who were purchasing tickets to a Real Madrid game. In all honesty: I know little, maybe nothing (at least before this game) about soccer. Regardless, I eagerly joined in on the ticket purchasing festivities. No matter the depth of knowledge for the game, experiencing a game like the one I went to will turn anyone into a fan. The game we randomly singed up for was against none other than against their rivals... Milan. These two have been competing for years to be the best and most well known teams of Europe. Quite the experience.
My friends, Hannah, Kathleen, and I went to the stadium early to check out the pre-game festivities. The media loves to portray such games as near riot status... but all we found were regular fans simply gun-hoe for their teams. Songs cheering on each team washed down the streets. Italian and spanish words were flying in every direction. Real Madrid scored twice in the first two minuets creating a surreal vibrant atmosphere. During the game we were constantly standing up, sitting down, shouting, laughing and trying to learn the spanish cheers. Amazing.
