This is what football is all about.
Atletico Madrid fans are a passionate bunch. Their manager is a passionate man and their team embodies the spirit of a proud club.
Add that with an occasion like a Champions League final. Pit them with opponents like Real Madrid, the most successful club in Europe, the same side that beat them in the final two years and, oh yeah, their fiercest rivals from the across the same city.
Give it a circumstance like losing for most of the match and bagging an equaliser with just over 10 minutes to go. Then you have scenes. Scenes of sheer joy, scenes of pure emotion.
22-year-old Belgian Yannick Carrasco was the hero of normal time as he equalised for Atleti and forced 30 extra minutes of a tense Champions League final.
Not only that, but he invented one of the best celebrations ever.
It will be the best goal celebration ever in #uclfinal https://t.co/TN8xM6Re73

But, in the stands, it was euphoria. It was crazy. It was simply wonderful.
Look what it means to them.
