Last night I was given the great privilege of attending a Real Madrid futbol game at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. The cloudy skies cleared just in time, and the match against Valencia was truly spectacular -- filled with a few yellow cards, some convincing "injuries," a dose of offsides calls (brought me back to my days of youth league reffing), a couple of well-placed goals, and an earful of cheering, "Venga, Sergio!"
Madrileno pride (and security) was ever-so-evident (though not as "machista" as I had expected), and the athleticism was jaw-dropping. Never have I seen so many perfectly toned legs in one 6400 square meter area! It seemed as if Ronaldo ran even faster when he had the ball at his feet, and Guti's command of the center field was flawless.
