Rivalry games are one of the most intense aspects of sport, and it’s often the passion of the fans that make these games what they are.
One of the fiercest rivalries is the Madrid derby between Real and Atletico, two clubs that faced off in the Champions League quarterfinals this season after meeting in the final of the competition last year.
Prior to the second leg on Wednesday, Real Madrid’s team bus was greeted by thousands of supporters on the streets near the Santiago Bernabeu, the club’s home venue.
Defender Raphael Varane shot a video of the fans, giving viewers an idea of what it’s like to experience a derby from a player’s point of view.
Real defeated Atletico 1-0 in the match to advance to the semifinals.
