13.08.2011 » 57.000 fans in Real Madrid last practice before Barcelona
There's no doubts on Real Madrid's huge dimension, but it's still stunning to notice how the Merengues can all of a sudden easily put 45.000 fans watching a training session in Madrid. Cristiano Ronaldo finished the pre-season with 7 goals out of 7 matches, while Karim Benzema is finally convincing all the critics with 8 goals from the same 7 matches. These are certainly two good arguments for the "Madridismo" to have good expectations for the outcome of tomorrow's match and latest reports say that Mourinho will face Barcelona fearlessly, with an offensive line-up.
Before today's practice started, it was possible to witness queue lines going around the Santiago Bernabeu. Despite the intense heat in Madrid, many families decided to go watch today's training session and a huge ammount of kids were delighted with the opportunity to see Cristiano Ronaldo and other Real Madrid idols.
