El Partido de Athletico Madrid y Real Madrid
The Champions League final game, Athletico Madrid vs. real Madrid was by far the best cultural experience I have had yet. We all met outside Don Quihote to travel to the game together. When we finally got off of the metro you could feel the suspense and the excitement of all of the Athletico Madrid fans. People were setting off fireworks, flares, and smoke bombs as we were walking towards the stadium. When we finally go into the stadium and to our seats the game had just started. We arrived just on time. The game was awesome and just sitting in the stadium and seeing all these Atheltico fans, the atmosphere was perfect. Being a soccer fan and player I was really focused on the game and wanted Athletico to win so they would have made history winning their first champions league. So, when Athletico went up one goal against real the whole stadium went crazy, it was like some set off a bomb in the stadium. It was just simply awesome. Unfortunately, later in the game with two minutes left Real scored and the whole stadium went so quite you could here a pin drop. Later in overtime Real scored three more goals and won the Champions League final 4 to 1. I had such a great time even though I wished Athletico had won. This experience was by far the greatest experience I have had in Spain yet.
