<![CDATA[she’s obviously taken my photo class]]>Reader Christine recently wrote me to tell me that she had spent a weekend in Madrid, and had gone to her very first Real Madrid game, the game against Rayo Vallecano, “an absolutely fantastic experience.”  She also shared some photos with me, which she was kind enough to let me share with all of you.  And as you can see, the things she chose to capture are things we love here on this blog.

We love… Xabi and his poses.

We love… the backs of our players.

We love… kisses.  And any moment that involves Marcelo.

We love… hugs.  And our bromances.

We love… seeing Esteban Granero doing boss training, Mes Özil and his Bambiness, and Iker Casillas.

We love… when our team scores goals and celebrates by rubbing each other on the head.

We love… in charge Sergio and his perfect hair.

We love… bananas.  They’re good for you.

We love… and appreciate nice asses.

We love… and appreciate even more a pair of nice asses.

We love… the jefe-ness of Xabi Alonso.

We love… when our players take their shirts off, and wear nothing else underneath.

And we love… these players, this team, this feeling, this club, this institution.  Hala Madrid.
