Real Madrid

The other night I went to see a Real Madrid soccer game. I have to admit, I was hesitant about going since I'm not too into soccer, but I am so glad I went! I met my friend Kara at the metro station and as we walked towards the stadium there were people everywhere. Everyone was wearing Real Madrid scarves and carrying flags. Also, everyone had a plastic bag with their dinner in it. No one told me to bring dinner! I ate at home before I left! We got to the stadium and met up with a couple other girls. We found the right entrance and went to our seats. Our seats happened to be the very last seats in the entire stadium (it holds 80,000 people) so it was a long walk up. The game was super exciting. We were playing against Getafe which is where my school is so I figured I'd be happy no matter who won. Although I didn't pay that much attention to the game, I am aware that we won at the very last minute! It was really fun to see how much people got into it. Soccer is a huge part of the culture here people have a lot of pride for their teams. ´Here are some pictures. Sorry everyone is so tiny, we were pretty high up!
