For me, football represents more than a sport, it is a passion difficult to describe with words, that modifies aspects of my life and that only someone who can feel it in the same way that I can understand it. I always upload content related to this, which is my passion. That's why I want to share with you a challenge that launched some time ago the EuroSport mahazine, which is called #30DaysFootballChallenge and consists of a series of questions per day in order to know the football tastes of the person, in the start image you can see each of the 30 questions. Well, this is your opportunity to better understand the tastes and opinions of football fans, his humble servant. Given that in theory it should take a month, but obviously I do not have a month, I will divide it into 6 parts and every sunday I will upload 5 of my answers to the challenges. Clarified everything, let's begin:


1) A goal that you will remember all your life.

The legendary Sergio Ramos header in the final of Lisbon. I will never forget that goal at 92'48'' that sent the final to extra time. When I had given everything for lost and the illusion of "La Décima" vanished, that magical minute arrived, in the seventh corner of good luck, that came that much that made me burst with joy with my friends. This was the goal that I have shouted most in my life, that kept alive my hope of reaching the elusive dream of winning the Champions League and that reminded me that a "Madridista" never stops believing.

2) A match that broke your heart.

Barcelona 5-0 Real Madrid at Camp Nou. That was the worst Monday of my life. Real Madrid came with such enthusiasm to that game because it was the first Mourinho "Clasico" (who we all saw as "The Savior of Madrid"), was first in the table and with an important streak of undefeated matches. He thought that Real Madrid would pass over him in his own field and thus start a new white hegemony in Spanish football ... he could not be more wrong, because everything vanished so quickly and ugly. I cried that afternoon due to the humiliation that we suffered at the hands of the hated rival with that historic 5-0 which we still suffer sequels. Even Jeffren marked us that day!

3) A player who should never retire.

Luka modric. A magician of the ball that has given us years of good football. Luka Modric makes difficult things easy, something that is only reserved for the big players. With his football he reminds us that this sport is an art and Modric is the best example. It is impossible to imagine the last glorious years of Real Madrid without Luka Modric on the court, since he has been the engine of one of the best teams in history, which makes play and makes others better. Luka Modric is undoubtedly the best midfielder of his generation and one of the best in history. I would like to enjoy his magic forever, that in his case the clock would stop and allow me to continue enjoying his football every weekend dressed in the colors I love. I thank life for allowing me to see a player as sublime as he is and when that day comes when he decides to hang his boots, everyone will understand what was lost, the ball will cry the farewell of one of his best friends, one who treats her with a delicacy, magic and unique elegance; and I will cry with her. I love you, Luka!

4) A match that everyone should see.

Real Madrid 2-3 Barcelona, ​​April 23, 2017. See this game, please, see it as many times as you can. This game is undoubtedly the best "Clasico" I've seen and one of the best matches of my life. I did not mind losing this game at the last minute, because I enjoyed each of the remaining minutes in one of the biggest football shows I've been able to witness. The game was simply sublime, had everything: football, drama, expulsions, comebacks, big goals, fight, claw, magic ... Just be hallucinating for weeks with this game and after the final goal of Messi my face was a poem because of the amazing match I had just observed. I do not lie to them when I tell them that I watched the whole game at least 10 times that same week, sometimes twice a day. I repeat it, please see it, it does not have any kind of waste.

5) A player clearly overrated.

Victor Valdes. He was a more than normal goalkeeper who had the luck to play in the best team in history, where he had difficulty reaching him once per game and where he had the great Carles Puyol, master and lord of that Barça defense in which he practically played only: it made both central, right and left side and even goalkeeper when Valdes failed. All the balls that I managed to stop were with the face or because the rival kicked the body. I only managed to see a very good season of Valdés (in which I admit that he was the best in the world), that 2012-2013 in which he was vital taking everything ... And he got injured! Compare it with the great Iker Casillas, the best goalkeeper that my eyes have been able to see, is simply ridiculous and an insult to football.

Well, that was all for today. In my next post I will continue with 5 more questions.
