Good evening Madrid, good evening Spain!
Bloody hell, we do love you!!
Spartans!
What is your profession?
Ahu! Ahu! Ahu!!
Right, first things first, I want to thank
everybody here,
everybody at home now
and all the people who supported us
throughout the World Cup.
Your strength touched us
and so here you have the tiny cup.
An especial mention
before starting on the players
to these guys standing right here:
They really make our job easier.
The credit for this Cup is
as much yours as ours.
A hearty ovation for them!
