@TomaRomas Do Mexicans love it? People outside UK (and many inside) loved the old Wembley. I thought it was terrible.

That second tier at the Aztec Stadium (or five tiers, depending on how you look at it) should be world heritage listed. So unlike any other stadium.

Mexico in 2019. Sinaloa for Diego. And Monterrey (other pics) for a game where police invited me on a truck escorting the Rayados team to their final against neighbours Tigres. A derby for a CL final… Loved it

@TomaRomas Why? I've not been. It looked aged from the outside.

@SiRenz303 No. I was en-route there in May 2019. I ran out of time and had to turn back towards the airport.

@jameso_12 That it's effectively a single steep tier that goes on and on. Normally stadiums are more tiered. A similar one to this was the old Maracana, but Azteca is much bigger.

I was in Marseille 10 years ago today when Russian hooligans attacked England fans. The haze is the gas used. Awful I sat amid Russians in the stadium. They were friendly. Always remember an American tourist saying many England fans had been "over served" thenationalnews.com/sport/andy-mit…

Said to myself 25 years ago that I'd only ever go inside Sagrada Família (capacity 9,000) when the main tower was done. Wasn't sure I'd ever see the day, but the Pope was there yesterday to bless it and it has reached the maximum height. Stunning church.

We see the tower of Jesus Christ illuminated for the first time! The light show, starting from the base up to the illumination of the cross, culminated with a composition of lights guided by drones that traced the figure of Gaudí and the phrase “first love, then technique”.

@Danny_McMoomins In 2019 I met a Mexican family in Madrid. They asked me what I knew about their country. And I was like 'tequila, cartels, fajitas, Chicharito, them pyramids, Aztec stadium..." They were appalled at my knowledge. And invited to their country. So I went...
