Campeones! Campeones! Real Madrid are
officially champions of Spain for the 32nd time in club history. Los blancos
clinched the title with a commanding 3-0 victory over Marcelo Bielsa's young and talented Athletic Bilbao.
Although the official celebration with the
team has been pushed back to 19:00 CET on Thursday (1pm EST), festivities have
already kicked off in Madrid. Cibeles was packed with Madridistas on Wednesday
night. The celebrations began immediately after the match and lasted until
about 3 am local time.
I was at Cibeles this evening to witness
this initial phase of Real Madrid's title-winning celebrations. It would
be difficult to accurately describe the passion and joy on display at Cibeles
solely in words. Therefore, I thought it would be best to post a few videos and
pictures from tonight.
Tomorrow will undoubtedly be a more
glamorous and eventful celebration, but tonight's festivities were filled with
raw emotion and passion.
Here are the videos from
tonight at Cibeles.
