Heja BVB, Real y Rayo

The atmosphere was fantastic. Borussia fans put up a huge banner, “Win the game for us today and be our heroes.”

It ended 5-2 to Dortmund. At one stage the Dortmund fans were singing and all jumping up and down in unison. The whole west side of the Olympiastadion was bouncing. Incredible. I actually had Gänsehaut .
Of course, as a reporter, I’m strictly neutral in such matters, but few would find Dortmund’s football against their taste. I can honestly say they have made my job a pleasure with their play over the last two years. Not-give-a-shit football, swashbuckling, nothing to lose, and made all the better by their humility and appreciation of boundaries they’re pushing back.

Which brings us nicely to another successful team. Real Madrid made it an unprecedented 100 points tonight. Cue more tacky celebrations. But hey, 32 ligas!

Sid Lowe summed up the madness brilliantly in The Guardian. And if you want to see how the Rayo players celebrated, click here. Well worth a watch!
’Twas a weekend for late goals, in England, in France – allez Montpellier!
Wonderful scenes, to rival the sheer joy on show in the Olympiastadion last night.
This is what sport’s all about.
