Sam's Odyssey 101

August 10, 2026

My cousins and I went to watch the Man City vs. Atletico Madrid friendly match in Seoul yesterday. Atletico Madrid is Lee Kang-in’s new team.

The tickets were crazy expensive and the weather was very hot, but we had a lot of fun.

The most exciting part actually started before the game. We had dinner together and shopped at the gift store. Man City won 3–1. I bought uniforms from both clubs, and whenever one team scored a goal, I switched to that team’s jersey!

After the game, we waited and watched the players get on their buses. You can watch a football game on a screen, but there are some things you can experience only when you are actually there.

I came home tired but happy.
