“What About Carlos”: Fernando Alonso’s Attendance Left Fans Wondering of Real Madrid Fanboy Sainz’s Absence From the Champions League Clash

Spain loves football, and the fanclub includes Spanish F1 drivers too. At the Miami Grand Prix, Carlos Sainz Jr showcased his football skills after being joined by Luis Suarez in a dribbling game. Besides that, Sainz is very open about being a Real Madrid fanboy. However, during the match on May 8th, i.e., Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich, it was Fernando Alonso who was present at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

This was reported by ESPN F1 on their X handle, where there are pictures of the Aston Martin driver enjoying the Champions League game. Fernando Alonso was spotted sitting alongside his father and a girl who is said to be Maria Gonzalez, Raul Gonzalez’s daughter. While Alonso was present at the match, many fans started to wonder where the Spaniard Carlos Sainz Jr was.

The end result? The match ended in favor of Real Madrid, with the score being 2-1. Both goals were scored by Joselu for Madrid, while Alphonso Davies scored the Bayen goal. Despite Sainz’s favorite team winning, he missed the race, which must have been quite a disappointment for him. ESPN’s post started to gain a lot of traction as fans noticed the F1 legend and took to the comment section.

Fans miss Carlos Sainz at the Real Madrid game.

This fan asked the question of the hour, knowing that Sainz would not have liked to miss this match. Especially knowing that his favorite team won.

This fan stated, “Meanwhile, Carlos is getting ready to test the new aero package in Imola tomorrow.” This was a humorous take on trying to figure out what could be so important for Sainz that he had to miss the match that Alonso could make.

One fan even tagged Carlos Sainz Jr and asked him where he was during the race. However, there is a low chance that Sainz replies to that, considering he couldn’t even make time for the Champions League match.

Meanwhile, an update from Carlos Sainz surfaced, showcasing pictures from his time “Riding around” New York. As it seems from these posts, the Ferrari driver decided to stay back in America to explore the streets of NYC.

While most of the people were looking out for Carlos Sainz, a fan pointed out Alonso’s attendance in the most accurate way, as he wrote, “Some important people here tonight.”

That being said, Carlos Sainz is enjoying his time in New York, and not every match can be attended. Considering that, hopefully, we get to see both the Spanish drivers watching matches together.
