Goooooool!

My dad’s cousin, Alfredo, has season tickets to Real Madrid. I was able to make it out to two of these games this past week—Real Madrid v. Atlético Madrid (a huge rivalry) and Real Madrid v. Copenhague. Seeing the fútbol game up close is quite the experience: fans cheer, energy is high, and excitement is non-stop. Unfortunately, Atlético slipped a goal in early into the game that Real was never able to match and beat Real 1-0. However, Real Madrid picked up their game next time around, beating Copenhagen 4-0, and allowing for many screams of GOOOOOOL!!!!!

¡Venga, Real!
