Day 3 of Germany Expedition.
Watch the final round of the morning's tournament.
The championship was won yesterday by FC Tokyo, who lost to Rapid (Austria) with a score of 5-2.
We were once again able to feel the skill and tactical play suited to the situation, as well as the strength in one-on-one challenges, which we also noticed yesterday.

At the closing ceremony, there were dance and singing performances, and during the awards ceremony, Mr. Beckenbauer appeared as a presenter, enlivening the event.

After that, we walked around the Champions League final event venue for about an hour, returned to the hotel, and had lunch.

In the afternoon and into the night, finally watched the long-awaited UEFA Champions League final.
Departed three hours before kickoff to head to the venue. On the way to entering the Olympia Stadium, the venue, the players witnessed passionate supporters of both teams singing their team chants to each other, allowing them to feel firsthand the atmosphere of a game that the world is watching.

Upon entering the venue, centered around the field, the support from both teams' fans, the large presence of media and security, and everything else conveyed a level of quality that cannot be experienced in Japan.

The match, which kicked off at 8:45 p.m., passed by in the blink of an eye without any time to notice.
Watching the high-quality play of world-class players from both teams, I was able to find what I need for the future, change my way of thinking, and realize the importance of putting in more effort than ever before.

I will return home tomorrow evening by flight.
