This past Saturday was picture perfect for Atleti fans. Los Colchoneros spanked intercity rival Real Madrid 4-0 in the derby, inching them closer to the top spot in La Liga where they now stand four points behind their rivals to the North, and three points behind Barcelona. But aside from the perfect result, a fan from India also got to live out his dream and see a match in Vincente Calderon Stadium.
Dhananjay Yadav says he’s been an Atleti fan since 2001 and he hasn’t wavered since. Yadav won a Facebook competition put on by the club to find the team’s biggest fan in all of India and was flown out to Madrid to catch the derby. The starstruck Yadav even collected himself to meet his idol, Fernando Torres, which was nothing short of heartwarming. It’s just another video that further shows the power of football.
