Championship Day!

Muy BUENAS!

It's my neighbourhood and it is game day :)
... the street stands are set, stuffed with flags, scarfs, shirts, mugs, (...)
...groups of fans are wandering around the neighbourhood, fully armed with their club's parafernalia, "pevides" bags, "jamón" bocadillos and obviously a few cans of beer (or even indulging in a slightly illegal botellón!!)
... horns sound every few seconds, rallying the crowds for the big event
... the crowd is starting to mass around the stadium entry to welcome the players bus

Today brings memories...
... 5 years ago, celebrating the Cup Winners Cup for Feyenoord in Hoofplein, center of Rotterdam
... 3 years ago, living the European Cup in Lisbon
... 2 years ago, celebrating Benfica's victory of the portuguese championship
... A year ago "celebrating" the portuguese run up to 4th place in the World Cup
... Football is definitely the opium of the people

A year ago I moved in Bernabéu neighbourhood...
And today, it is CHAMPIONSHIP DAY!!



Carpe Diem!

PS - Impossible to be indifferent to all of this, living next door to the best club of the XX century...

O SLB também vive momentos emotivos.... mas por outras razões ;-)))
