Fernando Alonso was presented with a Real Madrid shirt featuring his name and number one, as he was made honorary member of the legendary football club, during a ceremony at Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
Double F1 World Champion Alonso said at the function, "It is a tremendously special day to be here in this stadium that I love from a distance with all the trips I have."
"I'm always up to date with what is happening at Real Madrid and I always follow the great moments that we share. This started from when I was little, my father was a big Real Madrid fan and he instilled in me the values of the club."
"I've been asked a lot why I support Real Madrid. I've never had a clear answer. I am a Real Madrid fan because I am a Real Madrid fan. Neither do I know why my eyes are brown."
"Real Madrid chose me to be, like millions of people, a fan of this great club. Somehow, we were born to be fans of this great club. I am another member and it's a great source of pride and honour," added Alonso.
