A record hobby

The great winner of Sunday’s game against Athletic was the Real fans. Except for the handful of supporters who were not up to the task, throwing objects onto the pitch, the enhancers definitely confirmed that a new era has begun at the Anoeta Stadium. An era in which the Casa de la Real is a real candy box that squeezes the beauty, that intimidates and that, in the long term, will help the team score many points. At the moment, he has chained 11 consecutive official games without losing, the best streak since between November 2012 and September 2013 he accumulated 17 games without knowing defeat at home.

The derby was the second match in Aneota with 100% of the allowed capacity and, as expected, the attendance record was broken, surpassing the barrier of 37,000 spectators for the first time in history in a Real match played in Donostia . In the 19/20 season, the first after the stadium remodeling, against Athletic (36,730) and Barcelona (36,639) they had threatened to overcome that barrier and yesterday it was achieved. Something normal given the great moment of the team, that the club currently has more than 36,000 subscribers and that there was also the presence of the visiting fans.

The outcome of the derby was a hard blow for most of the spectators in Anoeta, but during the match they encouraged the team as if there were no tomorrow. A beautiful, spectacular mosaic was formed, with an ikurriña, a shirt with the number 12 as a nod to the fans and an ‘Eskerrik asko’ who came to thank all that public that now interacts, plays the games with his team to try to lead him to victory.
