A semifinal decided by … a ball. At Bernabeu Bergomi is hit in the lead, the game is suspended. Real Madrid will win the match. Nothing can the recourse of Inter to UEFA, which confirms the result on the field
A footballer who collapses on the ground, a bigliers who appears and disappears and then appears again, and everyone wonders a little: is it the same Biglia herself? A UEFA cup semifinal, when again – forty years ago – the tournament was called this, to challenge two of the most noble clubs of European football, Real Madrid and Inter. An iconic stadium, a basin that knows how to become hell, a colosum colored in white where – for the opponents – reigns the “excomed Mieo”. In those parts, borrowing a famous definition of the Nobel Prize Gabriel Garcia Marquez prize, they call it that: it is the fear of the stage that makes your legs tremble and beat your heart stronger, because you are entering the carousel of the witches. A story that has made era, a diplomatic case where the rebounds of the ball is intertwined with power. It happened today forty years ago. April 24, 1985. The history of the three B. Bergomi. Biglia. Bernabeu.
