As in the whole country, in Santiago Bernabéu Yesterday there was not as much desire to celebrate football as any normal day. In fact, ‘normal’ is a word that has had no place in our vocabulary since the rains ravaged Valencia. And that was noticed from the first moment in the white forum. In the run-up to the match, many fans went up to the Castellana with bags full of things for those affected and the conversations that were heard, unfortunately, were mostly the same. DANA, rain, help. Football is in the background.
Once inside, when the players took to the field wearing support shirts, everything turned into a heartfelt tribute to the Valencians. There was a minute’s silence accompanied by the anthem and a giant flag of the Valencian Community with the message ‘We are all Valencia’. That generated, above all feelings, one of immense respect that lived in the body of everyone present for a while. So some took a few minutes to shake it off and started having fun.
With the ball rolling on the grass, of course, football performed the unique function demanded of it these days and it fulfills it like no other show: entertain and make you forget for a moment everything that is not happening within that 105. x 68 green. People contacted again about everything that could happen: with UEFA, which accepted the match against the ‘no Ballon d’Or’ Viniciuswith Morata getting another one for being Morata, really, and scoring again against the whites (he has scored seven goals in his entire career) and above all himself real Madrid who does not raise his head.
The atmosphere was such that there was not even a sense of comeback that is usually felt in the stadium and the team, this time, did not create it on their own either. He was left in a pretense that the goal was not allowed Rüdiger in the 83rd minute but nothing, Real surrendered and full of doubt. That is why there was only one place for one certainty in the Bernabéu after the game and which, without a doubt, can be applied to the tragedy in Valencia: ‘This too shall pass’.
