Spot on. I think that nowadays Champions League football (and European football in general) has done more to create a common European identity/culture than all the top-down measures implemented by various institutions, you can have a Romanian and a Swede both saying they’re a Madridista or a Scouse while having no other interest in the Spanish and British cultures. Re: Italian music, I still have a couple of Ornella Vanoni and Mina CDs in my car, it’s the only thing that I listen while on road-trips (am Romanian).
