Why are you heading to the Box today?
Because this is what you've been waiting for all year.
Because we dreamed of this four years ago when we started from nothing and it felt like everyone had turned their backs on us.
Because through cheering, memberships, volunteering, or just following along, you’ve poured a piece of yourself into this story.
Because there will be a hundred other fans, crazies, and workers there who have nothing else, yet they owe everything to this.
Because nothing beats the feeling of scoring against a rival—and more importantly, because nothing hurts worse than a loss.
Because his victory is yours, and his defeat is yours too.
Because you surprised yourself by realizing you can still go absolutely wild celebrating goals.
Because you're feeling it again, which proves your passion is unbreakable.
Because you're unpredictable, irrational, and totally nuts, and nobody will ever get it except for those of us showing up today.
Because the madness is contagious, and this whole city caught it a long time ago.
Because you simply can't help yourself.
Because happiness doesn't take much—just crowding in with hundreds of crazies like you, the smell of sweat and beer in the air, and football. That's enough.
Because you still remember the insanity against Alumnus or Boise, and because your old man used to tell you how damn good it was to cheer back at the Steelcase arena.
Because the game is at the Box, and we're going to turn it into hell.
Because this club opened doors for you when everyone else slammed them shut.
Because your brothers and sisters from the stands, the streets, school, or work will be there.
Because being a Real Madrid fan means suffering, and you aren't going to miss this rare chance to celebrate.
Because the whole city is quietly dreaming of a championship, but today, we're going to shout it out loud together.
Because you're always there when it counts.
Because Real Madrid is playing.
Because you are Real Madrid.
The Box needs to thunder, and Makarska needs to fall!
Box, 7:30 PM!!
