The goals filled us with hope throughout the tournament. In football as in life, giving up is not an option. We all saw what happened on the field in Bogotá, during the grand final. What happened after the last penalty kick, which gave the first star for Atlético Bucaramanga, it’s already a personal story. An indelible memory that only football fans understand.
– Champions!
It was a scream that was waiting hidden in the throat and that confirmed that there is no destiny that cannot be twistedeven if you have to wait 75 long years.
Thank you Atlético Bucaramanga for a tournament and a campaign, for the great goals, which seemed to close for a time those daily wounds that we have in the region, those bitterness of violence, that pain that many, ordinary men, we carry in our hearts and that a ball, sometimes, manages to calm clearly.
Now, like those football tsunamis that turn everything upside down, this title will inspire an entire generation, which will proudly remember the night that saw Atlético Bucaramanga triumph. This good victory will fill the fields with more children and will excite the always ‘rollers’ in the veteran soccer tournaments. Everyone wanting to score their winning goal.
Those fans, lovers to die for freckles, those who furiously throw the ball (read the popular nail) to hell in an uncontrollable attempt to score their own goal, those who don’t even have the lungs to reach the final whistle, They confirmed with Atlético Bucaramanga that football always delivers beautiful revenge.
The cry of champions continues to resonate, but he will not be the last of this generation of footballers. They will continue, like all of us who have ever scored goals on a Sunday game, dreaming of being champions again, and why not, of lifting our own World Cup, on our own field, now illuminated by a beautiful star. The other teams will feel notified by this, including, of course, those that will arrive from the Copa Libertadores.
– Thank you Atlético Bucaramanga!
