"Le Champ Vert"

It's Saturday, April the 23rd, 2005...
A Turner prize-winning artist has trained
17 syncronized cameras on the Madrid number 5.
The roar of the crowd fades up and down.
Zizou comes in and out of focus.
Siemens, Adidas and Kelloggs Frosties
all earn themselves plenty of free advertising.
Zizou rolls his socks up.
A moth flutters in the glare of the Bernabéu floodlights.
Zizou does a lot of spitting.
Zizou does a lot of perspiring.
Zizou does a lot of shouting out; 'hey!".
Forlan misses a sitter.
Forlan gets substituted.
The Galcticoes overhaul their half-time deficit.
A fat man on the terraces bangs on a big bass drum.
Zizou shares a joke with Bobby Carlos.
Zizou pats the former England captain on the back.
Poise, balance, male-pattern-baldness.
Towards the end, there's an off-the-ball incident.
Several players indulge in some unnecessary argy-bargy.
The referee has no alternative.
Zinédine Yazid Zidane is sent off.
Mogwai are only added afterwards.
