League cups at Edificio de Telecomunicacion

After long years, Real Madrid finally has won the title in la liga. The previous titles went to Catalunya to Barça. I have to say that I’m not really fan of Real, but I think it’s good that they won the league when I’m here. Good thing was that the decision was made in the last game of the season. Bit more tension in the air…

We went to watch the game to O’Neill, Irish bar in the centre. Most of the game I even didn’t think that Real will gain the game, and thus the league title. Mallorca was playing really good. Mallorca’s defense was really good, and Real’s one was quite bad. But they put all the energy to attack the opponent’s gate. Mallorca didn’t show much in the game forward, but when they were attacking, they were really dangerous. But finally 10 minutes before the end shot some goals, and won. Final score 3:1.

After the game we went to Plaza de Cibeles to see the players. When I was there, I was thinking that it will be a little bit wilder. You know, Spanish are supposed to have hot blood… [-; But it turned out, that we were not in the center. But Petr told me next day that there were bottles flying in the air, and pissed police, and that they had to run to escape them… [-; (Read very aggressive police…). Maybe they called some additional troops from Barcelona. [-; Me and Marcin, we have seen only crows pushing, and bit of panic in the crowd. We also have seen just few players on the fountain. Among them Raúl dressing up the statue of Cybele to the scarf of Real.
