ANDhe Madrid derby to be played this Sunday on the green of the Santiago Bernabeu has already lived its first chapter. On the mat of the paddle tennis courts of the Financial City of Banco Santander, Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid have measured forces as a prelude to what will come on matchday 17 of LaLiga.
Manolo Sanchís and Víctor Sánchez del Amo, Y Luis Milla and Dani García Lara, on the Madrid side, and Milinko Pantic and Pablo Ibáñez, Y Roberto Fresnedoso and Ángel Jesús Mejías of the rojiblanco, have participated, along with several journalists, in a paddle tennis tournament organized by Banco Santander on the occasion of the Madrid derby.
A championship that had two groups of 5 couples each, and in which the first two qualified for the semifinals. In Group A (in which the MARCA-Radio MARCA duo competed) Luis Milla and Dani García Lara Y Milinko Pantic and Pablo Ibáñez passed the cut, won in their respective semis against the first and second group B and signed the dream final: a Real Madrid-Atlético de Madrid.
Milla and Dani García, representing Real Madrid, against Pantic and Pablo Ibáñez on the rojiblanco side. There the ‘first point’ of the derby was decided. A high-altitude duel in which the Madrid couple did not give options to the rojiblanca, conquering victory after four hours of tournament.
The ‘rosco’ of Pantic and Pablo Ibáñez to the MARCA couple … and Milinko’s joke with the result
Former Atlético de Madrid players had no compassion for Pablo Parra and Alejandro Fernández, journalists from BRAND Universe who was participating in the tournament. They dominated the football fields and now they do it on the artificial turf of the paddle tennis courts, showing their great physical and technical condition that has nothing to do with being ‘ex’ of something.
A punishment without excuses than his own Pantic he wanted to downgrade with generosity and a sense of humor. Thank Milinko.
