We step a little closer…

…to what is known as victory. The 31st league title. Two years in a row. They said that last time was a fluke. This time, they are not even closer, not on our heels, nowhere in sight. The fans are absconding too. Knowing them, they must have run, tails between their legs.
I cannot wait to see the beauty that is the Bernabeu all lit up, shimmering in royal finery, when the king’s patrons are (again) crowned Campeones. I cannot wait for the angel, El Capitan, to reach up to the Cibeles and drape the flag around the goddess. I cannot wait to see Los Blancos—old and new—celebrate like there’s no tomorrow.
And I cannot wait to take these memories with me, knowing fully that I have to make do with this for a while now…
Hala Madrid!
Wait my beauty while I wait impatiently
To drape you in y(our) royal colours, a bright vivid hue…
