TENS of thousands of Real Madrid fans celebrated their club’s 15th European Cup title on Sunday in the Spanish capital’s downtown area, escorting the team’s open-top bus and flocking to the city’s landmarks to get closer to the players.
Real Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at London’s Wembley Stadium in Saturday’s Champions League final after a late surge in a game whose first hour was mostly dominated by the German club.
“If you don’t kill Madrid, it will kill you,” Real Madrid supporter Diego de la Cruz told Reuters.
Since Saturday afternoon, white jerseys could be spotted in almost every corner of the city.
After the final whistle, cheering crowds took to the streets and sang all the way to the Cibeles fountain, where the players traditionally celebrate their triumphs with supporters. After a long night of celebrations, the team arrived in Madrid early on Sunday. — Reuters
