1. DON’T call it soccer, call it fútbol!
2. DO wear a Real Madrid jersey. Fans do know if you’re wearing a fake one, FYI.
3. DON’T wear FC Barca colors to games.
4. DO participate in chants led by the fan section. Just make sure you know what you’re saying.
5. DON’T block anyone’s view at any time (learned that the hard way).
6. DO sneak in snacks. Food for sale is limited and expensive.
7. DON’T talk trash to rival fans, unless your goal is to start a fight with strangers.
8. DO study the statistics of key players like Jude Bellingham and Luka Modrić.
9. DON’T pretend to be a lifelong fan. Nobody likes a bandwagon.
10. DO be ready for a sports season like no other!
