The best part of this fantastic experience was saved for last. The fans kick-started the day with a hearty breakfast to fuel up for the thrills that were to come. While some sported La Real shirts and others were kitted out in Barça gear, they came together for one big team photo that will live long in the memory.
Anticipation took hold of them and the nerves started jangling as the hours ticked by in the build-up. After lunch, they got to spend some time with a group of local supporters, who let our winners in on their pre-match rituals and traditions, which they will surely never forget.
With kick-off fast approaching, the Real Sociedad and Barcelona buses rolled up at the venue for what promised to be an engrossing encounter. The delighted fans were star-struck as they saw their idols arrive just metres away and even got their hands on some autographs. Their adrenaline went through the roof during the warm-up, for which they got to feel as if they were part of the action, as they watched on from pitchside.
Their appetites by now had been well and truly whetted for the main event and they were buzzing as the match got underway. The emotional rush was evidenced by their whoops of joy, yells, cheers and applause which rang out throughout the 90 minutes. Mikel Oyarzabal's goal in the opening minutes and the fact that the scoreline stayed on a knife-edge right up to the final whistle only added to the excitement.
The certificates they were presented with rounded off an experience that remained a longed-for dream just days ago but which now has come true.
