Unexpected Love

Chapter 22 - The Engagement

A Commentator's P.O.V ;)

"Good Afternoon you're tuning in to another exciting matchday of La Liga BBVA. The main event here on Fox Sports One is this afternoon's Madrid Derby. Real Madrid versus Atletico Madrid."

"Ah yes, the Madrid Derby is always entertaining. These two have a rivalry that is etched in greatness and some amount of dirty tactics. And here now the players are lining up in the tunnel.

"Both of these teams are through to the Round of 16 for the Champions League, alongside second place Barcelona."

"You see this Real Madrid side is the best you will ever witness in a long time. I mean they are currently 5 points clear at the top of the table.

"At the back you have a stellar partnership of Pepe and Ramos in the box, with Carvajal and Marcelo commanding the left and right. In midfield we have Isco, Kroos and the always impressive Modric. And upfront we have the BBC, attacking power like no other. The Trio of Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo have racked up a goal count of 93 goals in La Liga so far this season and they have been unstoppable."

"But then there is the Atletico team with magnificent and incredible defensive capabilities. Diego Simone has proven to be a tactical genius with his trusty 4 1 3 2 formation. I don't believe I've ever seen a team that can defend a one goal lead like that. It's going to be interesting tonight to see how both of these teams will try to pick apart each other but right now I'm dubbing this match the Battle of the Defences."

"That's right John I wonder what the end result of this could possibly be."

"We'll just have to see. The away fans have been going through alot since FIFA has restricted how many of them can be admitted into the Bernabeu tonight due to the clashes between supporters that are known to happen,"

"That is true but right now we are here on a cool friday evening in Madrid waiting for the start of this epic matchup,"

"The referee looks at his watch,"

"There goes the whistle,"

"And we're off!"

"Excellent pass by Kroos who intercepted Gabi and here we see some of that speed that Bale possesses."

"A swift cross from Bale to Benzema. Benzema looks up. Ooooh just sends it about a millimetre wide of the post. And Real have the first corner of the game.

...............................

"And there goes the start of the second half."

"The first half started off methodical but both teams indeed have been giving it their all. So far Atletico has had 55% of possession and they are playing very high up the pitch."

"Ooh a mistake by Ramos. Griezmann slips past him with ease. He's setting up to strike and he......awww he sends the shot straight at the stands. Good build up play from the young frenchman."

"The way he slipped past Kroos and Ramos was almost magical."

"The young frenchman made quite the scandal after agreeing to what the media reported to be a lucrative move to Atletico."

"Yes but all big players have been plagued with the 'lucrative' move card. I guess it's just the hype around the transfer window. Just look at Ronaldo and Bale."

"Speaking of Ronaldo, here are Real on the counterattack."

"Ronaldo, Bale, Modric, Modric loses it but it won back by Benzema, Benzemaaaa ah what a roulette, straight to James, Ronaldoooooo....Goaaaaalllllllll."
