In light of the Iraqi team making the world cup for the first time in 40 years, we remember the Iraqi madridistas who tragically lost their lives in a IS suicide attack made on their fan club cafe ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ

    On May 28, 2016, family and friends of victims gathered at the cafe to watch the UCL final, surrounded by armed police, frisking those who attempted to enter the cafe.[13]

    After the second attack, Florentino Pรฉrez, the club president, dedicated Real Madrid’s win to the fans that were killed, and other Iraqi club fans, including those killed by IS.[14] Alaa al-Hashemi, the Iraqi ambassador to Spain, thanked the club and invited the president to visit Iraq.[15]

  2. Reminder to be thankful for being able to safely watch and enjoy games for those of us who have an easier life.
