Buy a ticket to insanity: a hunch, a trip, a game, a party. All this could be a piece of paper, the input to the final of Euro 2012. Football is not explained. Not find sufficient reasons or arguments for over five thousand kilometers to the capital of Ukraine with the intention of watching a match. Do not defend, not justify, but here I am… I do not regret.

Alberto Fernandez y Patricia Navarro trav conmigo. Both know how reírle to life and break routines. Today meet just one year after its 'if I want to'. Today, final day will loudly celebrate. We have come to Kiev with the intention of going all: vacation time, the bite of the portfolio and faith in the selection. It is to weave passions, because in Ukraine have landed in red, with a star on the chest and want to get lost in the Orthodox, strolling cobblestone streets, to learn of the three words in Russian, of being in a stadium, goals screaming, the beber vodka. From living.

Complexed be buff I occasionally, while there is joy behind the flags

Traveling is nothing new to release emotions. Why was not going to be for a ball? Complexed be buff I occasionally, while there is joy behind the flags. I have not yet clear whether football is the excuse for the trip or if it's the journey that justifies the party. The fact is that we have come up with a basic plan: win the Italy and know Kiev and the Baltics.

Many Spanish nervous wandering around the city. We dressed tourists. We instantly recognize, lift the fist, a wink here and a 'we!'Beyond. The complicity of the fans makes Kiev in a nearby city. When I meet an Italian Iniesta entrust me and when I am overwhelmed by the image of the Hagia Sofia, with its golden domes. A car horn sounds while waving scarves Spain and immediately descend Andreivskii Street, with carved wooden houses and stalls with nesting dolls. I tied the flag to enter the enclosure catacombs Pechersk Lavra. There, the mummified bodies of the Orthodox monks leave us speechless and soon, close to Kiev Olympic Stadium, As with all mis Fuerza, embraced the very Manolo del Bombo. Yes, this to be a weird day.

Thousands of people come to the stadium. Reached the view unos kind dresses Seville, There gondolier on the other side, red shirts, universal blue shirts and beer to calm nerves. We are in Ukraine but at this point nobody even realize.

Maybe all that concerned, to invest feelings in the memory of the days, because the rest is just routine and forgetting.

I spare you the match report, but I must say that we hugged four times, all to all, friends and strangers, joy today is painted red. The blue is scattered with sadness. More than ten thousand followers were convinced Spain have attended the best party in History. Everything felt cheap, Nobody recalled the hours of travel, the tedium of bureaucracy or nerves before the game. We got to Kiev transferable experience. Maybe all that concerned, to invest feelings in the memory of the days, because the rest is just routine and forgetting.

Football should not sublimate, but those who despise the passions, even if passions with a ball, lost those hugs, this delusion shared. Belonging for a while enthusiastic mass is a healthy evasion.

Ukrainian women replaced the tiki taka selection. Green eyes and long legs flooded the dance floor.

Then we reached the night with their vodkas. Ukrainian women replaced the tiki taka selection. Green eyes and long legs flooded the dance floor. Italian and Spanish pictures and change shirts in a gesture that rivals zanjaba our status for all travelers in a strange land.

Many fans return home the next morning, but we, Patricia, Alberto and I, Volaris to Tallinn, to begin another route unforgettable, because with a star on the chest and a new European title, Europe, if viaja mas ligero.
