The best and worst of football

Yesterday Anoeta was the scene of the best and worst that the Champions League and football have to offer. The exhibition of champagne football and goals given by a Real team with seven young players including two from Navarre in the first half will be remembered for a long time and will be seen even in the farthest corners of the planet. But what happened in the pregame and, above all, during the second half visiting the stands with lighting and launching flares already constitutes one of the most embarrassing chapters in the recent history of Champions League. There is no right for children wearing txuri urdin to leave the stadium crying for fear of a flare or any other material exploding on them. It is incomprehensible that this happens in a stand where everything is searched. It’s a pity, the shame of Europe, the part of Benfica fans who should never access a stadium again in their lifetime. But bad, very bad, those in charge of maintaining the safety of Real fans inside and outside the stadium. Those who sought ‘realzale’ in Amara were not monitored, there seemed to be a lack of agents in the visitor’s stands, the perpetrators were not immediately chased away and it was crazy that a carry as thick as a flare. , when the ‘realzales’ were observed in an exceptionally intensive way during their travels. Steps must be taken. This, the ugly, will never happen again. The good thing is that it never ends
