What Would You Do After Winning A Major Sports Event?

 Sergio Ramos Kissing Before or After the final?

If you just won or got something you have been wanting to acquire for 18 years, how would you react? Would you be rational enough to think of a plan on how to go about such a glorious day? Would you ignore such an accomplishment and just continue on with your day? Or would you emotionally celebrate the feat, which has eluded you for 18 years, with friends? 

After Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7) scored the winning goal in the first half of overtime, and knowing how good a defense Real Madrid was playing, Barcelona succumbed to the jaws of defeat. If history has shown us anything about teams that Sergio Ramos plays for, it is when he wins a major event whether for the Spanish National Team or Club Team, Real Madrid, it is that he not only celebrates it but enjoys every second of it without consequence. Before the Copa Del Rey victory, Sergio Ramos is here celebrating Spain's 2010 World Cup victory in the airplane with his fellow teammates. Even though they played a grueling and physical final game against The Netherlands in South Africa, Sergio Ramos and company celebrated till they couldn't no more (bare in mind that from South Africa to Spain, it is a seven hour plane flight). 

Guess Who Dropped the Cup?

Although the Copa Del Rey is not quite as big as winning the World Cup, it is the most sought after trophy in Spain, making it a great accomplishment. So when Real Madrid won the cup, and knowing how Sergio Ramos is when he is part of a huge accomplishment, one can only guess what he would do. Most, if not all, the Real Madrid team were on top of their bus at around 4am (local time) celebrating, and at the helm of the festivities, he was there holding the cup, over the railing. One can only imagine the state of jubilation, he and the team, were in but what we all know is that Sergio Ramos was celebrating hard. The picture to the left depicts the events leading after, him holding the cup over the bus's railing. Yes, he dropped the prestigious, the most sought after, the precious, the magnificent, the marvelous, Copa Del Rey trophy. No one was hurt from this travesty, of sorts, only the trophy suffered 'injuries', and maybe his pride. 

Accomplishing something that hasn't been done in almost 20 years, and being part of something bigger than yourself is something to be extremely proud of, and should warrant a grand celebration. One knows that when emotions of happiness overcomes the mind and takes its course on the body, it is quit difficult to think of the consequences of actions; but as history would teach a player that holds a trophy over a moving vehicle anything in times to come, it is not to do it. But it is easier said than done, so I pose this question: What would you do after winning a major sports event?
