The squad of La Liga outfit Eibar have got together to recreate an iconic scene from the movie Rocky…and it’s truly something special!
In the clip, the Spanish team are seen replaying the magical moment in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where the boxer climbs the 72 steps—a metaphor for an underdog fighting against the odds and overcoming a seemingly insurmountable challenge.
