After all the publicity given to Real Madrid and none to the smaller team in Madrid,congratulations must go to Atletico for a fantastic win over the mighty Inter Milan in last nights final of the super cup, between the winners of the european champions league cup and thewinners of the europa league, a fantastic 2-0 win in Monaco sealed a fantastic night for Atletico,totaly dominating the game and worthy winners,playing like that all season could well mean pushing Barca and Rael all season, they played some great stuff and a great noisy crowd enjoyed a great spectical.

Well my neighbourhood went wild after the game . As you say , Billy , great to see Atlético de Madrid winning the championship ..Certainly put a smile on my face . José Antonio Reyes , bing interviewed after the game was grinning like a Cheshire cat ! But what is happening to Italian football ? They were the masters at one point and now they´ve fallen by the wayside .
By the way , I have a feeling MM may move this thread ... MM there´s always a lot of talk about Spanish sport .. football , basketball , tennis , moto etc.... Maybe a new category would be an idea . Sport being practically a religion here in Spain .
On a tangent , it would be interesting to know if somebody like Reyes , born into a gypsy ( Kale ) family if he´s helping improve the PR of gypsies here in Spain . With France expelling so many Roma people now ( Reyes´family is Romani ) he must have strong views . Positive images of the gypsy community would have to be so welcome now .
