Bayern Munich led Real Madrid 1-0, and Real Madrid were down to ten men after Federico Valverde's red card. Leon watched from the VIP box, completely engrossed.
"What a start to this Champions League final! Bayern Munich lead, and Real Madrid are down to ten men! The referee's decision to send off Valverde has certainly riled up the Real Madrid fans here in Tokyo, who are still BOOING THE REFEREE every chance they get!"
The whistles and jeers from the Real Madrid faithful were indeed deafening, a constant background noise.
"They're not happy, are they?" Leon's mom commented, wincing slightly at the noise.
"Nah, they never are when things go against them," Byon chuckled. "But a red card in a final? That's rough."
Real Madrid, despite being a man down, showed their champion's mentality.
They started SWITCHING THE PLAY with incredible speed, moving the ball from one wing to the other, trying to stretch Bayern's defense.
