A young Bernabeu supporter returned home on Sunday with the best memory of the building.
The look on his face indicated he was shocked.
Tee Higgins caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Joe Burrow in the second quarter of the Cincinnati Bengals’ Nov. 8 game against the Atlanta Falcons in Madrid. Then he gave the ball to a young fan in the stands.
The boy’s reaction was priceless. His eyes are huge and he looks completely stunned, like someone is about to tell him there’s been a mistake.
There was no mistake.
And it was quite a challenge for Higgins to give up. It was the 50th touchdown of his career and the fifth of this season. It also put Cincinnati up 21-10.
Higgins brought his family to Spain for the game, a trip he told WLWT TV seemed surreal.
This isn’t the first touchdown ball he’s handed to a fan in the stands. In the AFC Championship Game in January 2023, he scored and went straight to his mother with it.
