The match would take place at 20:45 CET, so we had a lot of time to prepare us. Today will be so special! It's not only a match, Iker's farewell will also take place, I know that I'll cry oceans, but at least I can see him for one more time at the Bernabéu.
It was a creative afternoon, we made loads of boards with messages for our players, especially for Iker Casillas, we sang our club songs and laughed with each other. After that we went to the Bernabéu and had lunch at the Bernabéu cafe. There we had a meet and greet with the leaders of the Real Madrid fanclub, they gave us our vip tickets and told us that we've the the best places. We thanked them and ate our food. After that we went to the tribune to see how good our places are, they're literally perfect!
More and more people arrived at the Bernabéu, it was so busy, you would think that it was a Champions League match, if you didn't know better. It was beautiful to see that so many people came for our captain Iker Casillas! Roberto sat next to Laura and a dude we don't know, Paula sat next to Laura and Melissa, Rawan sat next to Melissa and Jennifer and I sat next to Jennifer and there was still a place free next to me. We had a talk until the players arrived on the pitch for their warmup sessions.
We were all quiet until Laura randomly said to me that I've to look next to me. Laura is one of the sweetest girls I know, she has a big heart and cares about everyone. She's really innocent and wants everyone to have respect for each other. She wants to stop wars and diseases, she wants freedom and equally and so on. She's always there if you need her and you'll never regret if you start talking to her, she's an awesome girl. So I looked next to me, what the fuck, was I dreaming? It was Cristiano Ronaldo jr. He saw that I was starring to him, so he looked at me and I could see that he was as confused as I was. We looked into each other's eyes for a while, again and then he said:"You are that girl I saw yesterday at Valdebebas, aren't you?" I said:"Yes I'm." Then he told me that he is so sorry that he drove away, he said that he couldn't sleep all night, because he was regretting about what he has done, he said that he thought that he would never see me again. I told him that I thought the same, we both were quiet and looked to each other, it was kinda awkward, but I didn't want to look away, I felt something I've never felt in whole my life, it was a feeling I couldn't describe. Then I asked him:"But why did you drive away Cristianito?" He answered:"I don't know, I thought you were like all the other girls, who only want to tell me that they love my dad and that I've to do a good talk for them, but now I think you aren't. What is your name by the way?" "Eleánore", I said. Then he said:"Eleánore, what a beautiful name!" I answered:"Thank you", while blushing.
Then I heard how excited the others were about the match, they screamed Iker's name and starting singing chants and songs. But I forgot the whole match, I forgot what the real reason was why I came here! Iker Casillas stood so close to us! I started crying, Jennifer was also crying so she hugged me. The farewell would take place after the match, but I didn't really give my attention to the match. Cristiano jr and I got to know each other better, we talked an laughed. He asked me if I live in Madrid and I told him that I would love to, but that I live in the Netherlands, his facial expression changed, he expected that I lived in Madrid.
Then Cristiano Ronaldo scored an awesome freekick against Porto, it was the best freekick goal ever! I jumped, screamed and Cristano jr, my friends and I celebrated the goal together. Cristiano scored against Iker, but Iker applauded for him and had a big smile on his face. Then Cristiano and Iker hugged each other, this was so beautiful to see! The match ended with a score of 1-0.
After the match Sergio and Iker exchanged their shirts, kissed each other on the cheeks and hugged each other. The whole Bernabéu started shouting:"Viva Iker Casillas" and things like:"You'll forever be our captain." There was an awesome atmosphere, Iker bow for us and thanked everyone. Then Ramos gave Iker a speech and talked about the best ten years of his life, the ten years together with Iker. It was a really emotional speech, both, Ramos and Iker cried and hugged each other after the speech. Then Ramos said:"Teammates for a long time, but brothers forever!" The whole Bernabéu applauded for them, everyone was so emotional! There were so many beautiful mosaics to see, everything was Iker related! Iker Casillas ended the ceremony with saying:"UNO, DOS, TRÉS, HALA MADRID!" Everyone applauded again and all players left the pitch. Iker is gone, I thought, I started crying again, but at least he got the farewell he deserved!
