"Even in the glory days, there really hasn't been a double-header to compare with this"
"Thirty minutes after full-time and the open door off to the side of the main press conference room in the Puskas Arena allows a room of mostly silent Hungarians to hear the tunes pumping out of the away dressing room. A 1990s dance tune is belting out of the speakers. Show Me Love by Robin S as it happens. Good choice. Good words. "Heartbreaks and promises," as the opening verse goes, "I've had more than my share.""
Thirty minutes after full-time, an open side door to the main press conference room at Puskas Arena let music from the away dressing room filter into a mostly silent Hungarian audience. The away dressing room loudspeakers were playing a 1990s dance track: "Show Me Love" by Robin S. The song's opening verse begins "Heartbreaks and promises, I've had more than my share," a line that resonated with the mood in the stadium. The unexpected soundtrack provided a contrasting, almost wry counterpoint to the quiet press room and underscored the emotional texture of the moment.
