Battle of Madrid

Football (soccer) is the king of sports in Spain. The football fans of Madrid have enjoyed a season of the ages. Both Madrid teams, the famous Real Madrid and Athletico de Madrid, are playing each other for the European Champions League final. This is the "Stanley Cup" of football, except imagine that the Leafs and Canadians are playing in the 7th game and they are both from Toronto. Football fans will party the night away celebrating or drowning their sorrows on the streets of Madrid. We went around the corner to a local bar to watch the game. Real Madrid scored in extra time to take the title over the underdog Athletico team. On my way home I could hear shouts of joy coming from apartment buildings, music was blaring, and people we celebrating in the streets.
