Not sure where to post this question. I have a chance to go see either FC Barcelona v SD Eibar on 9/19 or Real Madrid v Real Betis on 9/20. I'm a fake futbol fan who mostly watches the World Cup and plays Fifa every now and then. Which game should I see and which team should I t-shirt bandwagon on? I realize this is a bit like asking if I should be a Yankees or Red Sox fan and possibly an obnoxious, borderline offensive question.
Madrid. Superior opponent if nothing else.
Ticketmaster sells their tickets after the socios buy them (should open up a few days before), that's how'd I'd do it rather than scalpers. Definitely avoid the metro stop outside the stadium after the game. Packed and tons of pickpockets. Worth the walk to nuevos ministerios before hopping on. Bocadillos for sale in shops south of the stadium, grab some beers beforehand and take the sandwich in for halftime. Enjoy!!
