The penultimate resurrection of Real Madrid
What if it happens again? It looks like the script of a movie that you have not seen yet, but you know how it will end. Team that arrives at Bernabéu with a favorable result, a team that, without knowing it, has just justified its presence in this story; But not as he would like, but like A villain who, the higher it seems, seems destined to enlarge the hero’s trip. Arsenal is not yet aware, but from the moment he has set foot in Madrid, he has become that villain for Real.
