Thanks a million, #LigaBBVAExperience!

These three days in Seville and the match that I witnessed have been up there with the very best.

Thank you for the warmth, the opportunity and for letting me be lucky enough to enjoy the magic of football. I felt special and ecstatic throughout. I am Juan Pablo Paniguito, one of the four-strong group of Argentines and want to offer my thanks. I must have been the happiest man on the planet over the last three days. That is without mentioning the countless number of times I had goosebumps because I was simply struggling to comprehend what I was seeing. The #LigaBBVAExperience was absolutely incredible.

I'm crazy about football and hail from Rosario. Now you can understand, it's where Messi is from. I still can't believe my three-day stint in Seville. I never could have imagined myself going horse-riding, enjoying live flamenco or watching my mother break into dance. The rest of the family still can't believe it and that is what the #LigaBBVAExperience is all about. I did activities I never could have expected and had a blast in a way only possible in the enchanting world of football.



As I've said, I'm a football lover. I'd never stepped foot in any stadium aside from the home of Rosario Central, nor had I ever experienced the beautiful game at close quarters outside Argentina. Imagine how I felt when I took to the Benito Villamarin pitch, having walked through the tunnel and taken a seat in the dugouts. Such moments would be impossible without the #LigaBBVAExperience.

I had butterflies in my stomach on the final day. I told my girlfriend I didn't know what they'd arranged for us, but I was sure it would be spectacular. Luckily my hunch was correct as we stepped out on to the Benito Villamarin pitch at the same time as Neymar, Musonda, Luis Suarez and Joaquin… It was magnificent. As expected, the Real Betis fans were in fine voice on the terraces.

We've not even been back in Rosario for 24 hours and my friends are already bored with hearing me blabber on about how fabulous the #LigaBBVAExperience was. It was a dream come true lasting three days in which I was the happiest man in the world.
