If you ever want to see a group of people cheering and shouting in joy for any sport, just put on a good football match. Football is a sport that enjoys a die-hard fanbase all across the globe. Football fans are equally crazy and aggressive in India. Speaking of matches, we saw an incredible match this weekend between Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano.

The match ended in a tie between the two football clubs, with the score being 1-1 by the end of full time. In the past, the two clubs have gone against each other 17 times. While Real Madrid has won 14 times, Rayo Vallecano has only managed to score twice.

It was a great match to see between the two clubs, as fans in India came together to cheer for their favorite clubs. Speaking of the Indian fanbase for international football, Bollywood has a fair share of the sport as well.
