Watched the final of the knockout tournament in the morning.
Yesterday, Rapid (Austria) defeated FC Tokyo with a score of 5-2 and won the championship.
I was able to feel once again the skill and cleverness in techniques and tactics according to the situation I felt yesterday, as well as the strength in duels.
At the closing ceremony, there were performances of dance and song, and Mr. Beckenbauer appeared as the presenter at the award ceremony, livening up the closing ceremony event.

After that, I wandered around the Champions League final event venue for about an hour, returned to the hotel, and had lunch.
In the afternoon and into the night, finally watched the long-awaited UEFA Champions League final.
Departure 3 hours before kickoff to head to the venue. The players were able to feel the atmosphere of the highly anticipated game by witnessing the passionate supporters singing team chants to each other on the way to entering the Olympia Stadium, the venue.

When entering the venue, I was able to feel the high quality that cannot be experienced in Japan, such as the support of both team supporters centered around the field, the large number of media and security personnel.
The match that kicked off at 20:45 passed in the blink of an eye without even realizing how time flew.
I was able to watch the high-quality play of the world-class players from both teams, and I felt that it is important to find what I need for my future, change my mindset, and continue to make even more effort than before.
I will return home tomorrow evening by flight.
