Rafa Nadal’s walking odyssey to see Real Madrid-Liverpool

The tennis player Rafael Nadal, who on Saturday night attended the victory of Real Madrid in the Champions League final against Liverpool, assured that this cup “is not going to be forgotten”.

“It’s the first final I’ve seen live and it ended with a victory. It’s the culmination of a year of very strong emotions. In football, I’m from Madrid, I want my team to win, but this is the victory of teamwork”, assured.

“Without having the best team player by player, they have achieved a collective triumph and transmit something special, unite people. A title has been achieved from the collective more than the individualities, which are the triumphs are more special. It is a Champions League I don’t think it will be forgotten because of the way it has been achieved,” he added.

Nadal indicated that he had trouble getting to the Stade de France stadium in Saint-Denis, like most. He explained that he decided to get out of the car in the middle of the highway to avoid traffic. He walked the last stretch on foot, taking pictures with some fans who recognized him. Staff from the organization had to leave to make way for him and lead him to his place in the stands. He attended with his father Sebastià, his wife Mery Perelló and his sister Maribel.

Later, he did not stay at the party to award the cup to the winner due to the delayed accumulated schedule and to be able to rest before the round of 16 match that he had today against the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliasimus, which he won in five sets. “At 12:20 a.m. she was in bed,” she noted.
