A SPECIAL FOOTBALL MATCH

In December, I went to watch the football match between the Tunisian and the Basque national teams. I had been waiting for that day since the year before when I watched another match of the Basque national team and I had a great time. This time, I have also enjoyed it a lot.

When I arrived, San Mames was already full of people, and they were cheering excitedly. All the people had coloured papers on their seats and we all put them up to make a beautiful mosaic. There was a special smell on the air, the typical odour of a football match, a mixture between tobacco and sandwich smell.

Suddenly the referee blew the whistle and the match started. The crowd started to cheer louder, it was deafening. The atmosphere was incredible.

In the end, despite the match wasn’t too good, I had a really good time. I think that I will go to the Basque national team’s matches every year, because watching it on TV isn’t the same as watching it live.
