The Final of this competition was held here which is old stadium of our hosts A.C.Reggiana. On the way to the match it was interesting to see flag waving A.C. Milan fans in cars touring the streets after A.C. Milan had clinched the Seria A title that day.

The youth team of our hosts A.C.Reggiana who had won through to the Final.

The other team in the final were Athletico Madrid.

A few action shots of the Final. Here we see the Reggiana keeper collecting the ball.

Athletico Madrid are on the attack here. Athletico Madrid won the Final 1-0. Athletico,Reggianna and Real Madrid who finished third would represent Europe at the World Finals in Barcelona. Hearts just missed out finishing fourth. Sadly SGFC would not be there.

After the final game, with traditional Italian dancers throwing flags around, the teams marched onto the pitch for the closing ceremony and presentation of trophies. After this, as we made our way home, for SGFC, would football ever be the same again ?
