1. Watching a live football match is 10 times better than watching it on television. I had the pleasure of watching Real Madrid vs Valencia in Santiago Bernabeu stadium. The atmosphere was electric. You may know that Real Madrid stadiums are always completely occupied with more than 80k supporters cheering their hearts out. The atmosphere will surely give you goose bumps.

2. 2. I could also see a fan group which coordinates their anthems with drums, microphones, lags, etc. These guys were really active and you could hear them singing and supporting throughout the match. The air was so full of excitement and all kinds of smell, but mostly I could smell popcorn, sweat, and the fresh cut grass from the field.
   

   3. 3. While the match was exciting nonetheless, I kept on chewing the hotdog I bought earlier. It was a bit chewy, but it was smooth and tasted really good. You can also pay to have a tour of the stadium, which includes a trophy room and locker rooms too.
      

3. 4. I would like to conclude by saying that if you are a football fan you must see a live match and if possible the match of the club you support. World cup match tickets are difficult to buy so I would suggest club matches.
   
   How many people were there in the stadium?

• More than 80.000 supporters

• More than 80.500 supporters

• More than 80.001 supporters
