The streets of Madrid were deserted, the players all dressed in suits.
As captain, Raul stood on the bus, raising the championship trophy high, while the surrounding fans erupted with cheers.
Chen Zhong carefully took in all of this, witnessing the team's speech at the City Hall, seeing the spectacular city painted in pure white. Now they were headed to Plaza de Cibeles to lift the trophy high in front of all the fans and share the moment of joy with them.
The tsunami-like applause and shouts almost engulfed the entire city. Chen Zhong witnessed Raul and Guti, along with other captains, tying the team's scarf on the Goddess of Harvest statue.
It was a tradition after winning the championship, the most solemn and sacred gesture.
After completing these series of actions, Raul, as captain, tenderly kissed the statue of the Goddess.
