Euphoric Real Madrid celebration! Alaba waved his chair, President Pérez kissed strangers, only Bale wanted to get out of the cabin
Real Madrid managed an extremely difficult game in Seville. No one has won at the Ramón Sanchéz Pizjuán this season, only the White Ballet broke it, despite being 0:2 down at half-time. So the celebrations were spectacular.
Real Madrid managed an extremely difficult game in Seville. No one has won at the Ramón Sanchez Pizjuán this season, only the White Ballet broke it, even though they were 0:2 down at half-time. So the celebrations were spectacular.
Real Madrid’s result in Sevilla gave a lot of clues as to where the La Liga title for the 2021/22 season would go. If Los Blancos had lost and Barcelona had managed their playoffs, the difference would have been just six points and there would have been more drama in the world.
But Real didn’t let that happen, even though they were already down 0-2 at half-time. In the second half, Real showed a heroic turnaround and thanks to Rodryga, Nacho and Benzema, turned it around to 3: 2 in the 92nd minute. They now have a comfortable 15-point lead in the league, although Barcelona have two games in hand.
Such a turnaround deserved a proper celebration. The players shouted euphorically as they entered the booth as if they had already won the league. There was only one person who didn’t show the slightest bit of joy. Gareth Bale watched his teammates’ enthusiasm with disdain and wanted to get out of the booth as soon as possible.
And he did just that. When the team photo followed, with the players singing ” Así, así, así gana el Madrid,” i.e. “this is how Madrid wins”, Bale was no longer in the booth with his teammates.
But the fans were interested in something else, and that was the celebration of David Alaba. The Austrian stopper became famous for celebrating with a plastic chair raised triumphantly above his head after the turnaround with PSG at the Santiago Bernabéu. So, after the win at Sevilla, he once again picked up the chair in the booth and pumped it triumphantly.
The president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, was also overjoyed with the victory. “Florentino left the Ramón Sanchéz Pizjuán in a euphoric state. He even kissed strangers, ” El Chirinquito TV reporter Silvia Verde reported from the scene.
