Florentino Pérez, accompanied by Gento, Amancio and Emilio Butragueño, represented Real Madrid in the box for authorities, where the Spanish national coach Luis Aragonés was also present. Borja Fernández, Portillo and Luis Figo weren’t listed by Camacho.
Ensimmäinen maali päästettiin jo ensimmäisellä minuutilla, mutta onneksi itse vastasimme siihen heti toisella minuutilla. Voitto olisi toki ollut mukava, mutta Giovanni pääsi tasoittamaan viime hetkillä.
