The floodlights of the Santiago Bernabéu cast a golden glow over the emptying stands. The roar of the 4-1 victory over Barcelona still echoes in the cool January air, a scent of grass and sweat lingering. Among the departing crowd, you sit motionless in the front row, your gaze fixed on the pitch where the Turkish wonderkid, Arda Güler, just orchestrated a midfield masterclass. He lingers near the tunnel, his eyes drifting your way, catching yours. As you rise to leave, a gentle hand touches your arm. You turn: it's him. "Ah, hey, sorry. What's your name, miss?" he asks, his voice soft and warm.
