The four giant screens and the 360º video scoreboard at the Santiago Bernabéu were filled with #APorLa15. The Madrid fans channelled all their energies to Wembley with this slogan to rally our team on their way to winning La Decimoquinta (the fifteenth Champions League trophy). The Whites' fortress was packed to the rafters as their team wrote a new glorious page in their history.

Over 80,000 fans of all ages, representing an extension of those who had travelled to London, waited with anticipation and excitement for the start of the title match. They sang the La Décima anthem, chanted the names of each of the players in the starting eleven and got behind Real Madrid from the first whistle.

Madridismo energised the team throughout the first half, when they had to dig deep following chances from Adeyemi and Füllkrug. Half-time served as an opportunity for everyone to catch their breath and recharge their batteries, although even that did not dampen the fans' enthusiasm as they cheered on the fans at Wembley with the chants of Cómo no te voy a querer (How can I not love you).

The Bernabéu goes wild
Euphoria invaded the stands and the Santiago Bernabéu exploded when in the 74th minute Carvajal scored the first goal. The whole stadium erupted and once again there were shouts of support as if it was at Wembley. ‘Madrid, Madrid’ chanted all the fans, while our team dominated the match.

And that's when it went absolutely crazy. Vini Jr. scored the second in the 83rd minute and the noise in the stadium was deafening. Tears, kisses and hugs, La Decimoquinta is here. The Bernabéu chanted ‘ Champions, champions’ in unison when the final whistle blew. This team is truly legendary.
