Huge Real Madrid emblems and silhouettes of the Champions League trophy appeared in the stands at Bernabéu. They were collaborations made up of cardboard pieces held by the fans. Every Real Madrid fan would find a piece of cardboard of a different color in his seat. They just needed to lift the pieces of cardboard up to form a giant image that covered the entire spectator section. The atmosphere created at the stadium was feverish. The confidence in Real Madrid's victory at Bernabéu was bursting.
The poor Nottingham Forest team did not receive such treatment as they were truly playing in an "away game" this time.
The Nottingham Forest fans huddled in a corner of the stands. They were clad in their red jerseys and surrounded by white squares. Real Madrid's anthem played in the stadium.
