Yesterday evening, with the spectacular second leg of the Champions League semi-final played at the Bernabeu between Real Madrid and Manchester City, all football fans on the planet remained glued to the televisions for a couple of hours. Among these, of course, there were also Formula 1 drivers and in particular one: Carlos Sainz. The Ferrari driver is born in Madrid and is an avid fan of the ‘Los Merengues’, who yesterday won at the end of an epic comeback in the final minutes of regular time, followed by extra time, to earn a place in the final.
The Maranello team’s Spanish driver, despite all the commitments scheduled in Miami, did not want to miss the match of the year. There was no shortage of ‘behind the scenes’ images on the social media profiles of Ferrari and of the Spanish driver himself. In fact, the Iberian driver followed the first part of the match alongside his teammate Charles Leclerc from the red’s motorhome. But then some ‘institutional’ commitments forced the Spaniard to leave during extra time. Carlos Sainz, however, was not discouraged and followed the development of the match from his smartphone, managing to grasp – thanks also to the external ‘updates’ of those who were with him – Karim Benzema’s decisive third goal that opened the doors to Real Madrid to the UEFA Champions League final.
