Olimpico di Roma, Italy
-----
The sunset was glorious, all rosy and salmon-pink. Its golden rays shone relentlessly on the countless football fans slowly making their way into the gates of the renowned Olimpico di Roma. Nonetheless, most of them didn't mind the discomfort as all they could think about was the Coppa Italia finals between Juventus and Lazio commencing in about two hours.
Paolo Favero, a staunch Juventus supporter, was already wearing his stripped black and white jersey as he waited to enter the stadium with his family. He looked at the boisterous scenes around him with eyes gleaming with excitement. His hopes had already soared as he glanced at all the other fans in Juventus colors who were also waiting to pass through security and enter the match venue.
