The Champions League holds a special place in the hearts of Real Madrid supporters, and with this particular match taking place at the Santiago Bernabeu, it was an opportunity Reyes felt he couldn’t miss.

When Reyes bought his ticket, he didn’t realise it clashed with his wedding day, but once he did, the choice was easy.

“I talked to the church, canceled the wedding, the meal, I even canceled the sunshine to come and see Real Madrid,” he told El Larguero.

He added:

“The woman who was going to be my wife hasn’t spoken to me,” Alan admitted. However, he didn’t seem worried at all, quickly adding that “if she loves me, she’ll forgive me.”
