A daytime in Madrid Gray sky overhead The mist forms rows Eyeing, hesitating As spectators in a field Hovering for kickoff Masses of zealots Shining bands of fans In the style of a royal army The sound of shoes trampling Moving to a specific ground Hovering for kickoff The reals of Madrid are tough They defy tooth and claw The adrenaline level is rising Blood of steel ran in their veins Artistic knives are at the ready They hurt the stadium The reds of England look anxious. To do this, a hero must be called. A savior in times of peril. A leader to rally the troops. A Liverpool that flips the tides. Halftime is near Relief for the Spanish is near But there is a last terror spell One final shot towards glory A clip-on their lips A blow on the Reals' souls The fate of our heroes is unsure. What lies next for the Reds? But one thing is certain. They seek victory. Will they master the chaos of war?

An exciting description of the final game of the European Champion Cup. Liverpool was outstanding but the Goalkeeper of Real was a hero. Thank you my dearest friend, Lasaad! Be blessed!
