The feeling in the team was one of having written one of the finest pages in the history of Real Madrid. They didn't actually win a trophy, but the hammering they dished out at the Allianz has indisputable quality value. For, not only were three successive knockouts at the semi final stage now left behind them, but also the side regained their old, long-standing reputation of being dreaded throughout Europe. Real Madrid had once again become the 'Vikings' of the Old Continent.
"We'll never forget this", those who had taken part in it were saying to one another. Coaches and players alike, giving their opinions in the press area afterwards, agreed that, except for the yellow card to Xabi Alonso, the match had been "perfect". They had given a showcase lesson on how to behave, being courageous, playing intelligently and not falling into the traps Bayern set for them.
There were world champions in the dressing room, who know full well that you can't live by semi finals alone. But if in the end Madrid don't beat Atléti in the Champions League final, the night at the Allianz will still remain a wonderful memory. "We haven't won the final yet", people could be heard saying amid the celebratory cheers and shouts in the changing room.
Euphoria
has broken out among the followers of Real Madrid. The delectable
hangover following Real Madrid's great night in Munich will go on for a
few more days yet. There is still room for a little more celebration,
especially for the players and the manager - heroes of an exploit which
no one believed in more than they did.
