Last year,
at the end of my round the world trip, I made a final stop in Spain to
witness El Clasico; one of the most exciting games of football between
arch rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Last
weekend they had another go, this time at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in
Madrid. With a relatively quiet calendar (as you might have noticed), I decided
to drive to Madrid in my Porsche for that match and make it a bit of a long weekend
away.
I could
mention the nice drive through France & Spain, the wonderful hotels I
stayed at, the lovely Restaurants on the way there and in Mardrid, but that
wouldn’t do justice to the game of football I saw….
WHAT A
CRACKER !!
Everyone
who likes the sport knows by now Barcelona beat Madrid by 4 goals (with 3 of
them by Lionel Messi) to 3, but it was more than just 7 goals. The speed of the
game, the progress of score, the quality of the football, the atmosphere, all were
simply unbelievable. Madrid so shocked
by it all they lost their midweek game as well, which makes the end of the competition
very exciting and makes me long for more….
