The parties did not end last night. The team arrived today from Paris and the program was to continue the celebration that had started this Saturday with the final whistle from Turpin. After the greetings to the institutions and the walk through Cibeles, it was the turn of the home stadium, the home that has been an accomplice in the white team’s comebacks and that throbbed with joy on the magical European nights. “What a season” Ancelotti said to explain Madrid’s madness of the year. Something unexpected, a brutal success, as well as the admiration that the fans have given to the players and the coaching staff in the parade.
The lights, scenery and music have paved the way for a perfect farewell.
The protagonists of the fourteenth have been parading one by one, with the reception of an individual ovation by an unleashed public. The most acclaimed were, without a doubt, Karim Benzema, invoked as the future Ballon d’Or, and captain Marcelo. The Brazilian broke into tears more than once during the ceremony, he could not contain himself in front of the chants of his fans, especially during the most exciting moment, when he raised the cup in front of what has been his home for more than 10 years .
The players went up to the box set up for the occasion and let loose singing the team’s anthem, including the Italian coach and the French striker who sang it with the most energy of the entire group. The party ended with a spectacular fireworks display that lit up the Madrid sky on a magical night, with a unique atmosphere that turned the Bernabéu into a work of art. In the end, the players went down to give a final greeting to their people, two laps around the field to thank the fans, with the cup carried as a witness of the effort made throughout the season. The Champions League passed from hand to hand, no one wanted to release it for obvious reasons. The night closed with the photos of the players with family and children who enjoyed the pitch to immortalize moments that will remain in the minds of many of them.
The cup at the end will stay in the stadium that has been a theater and will surely be for other celebrations. This is the end of an incredible season for the Whites that could start a new beginning.
