Lamine Yamal caused the penalty by Yoel Lago, he was in charge of taking it, converted it, and got injured during the shot. Penalty, goal, and injury. He didn’t even celebrate Barça’s 1-0 against Celta. The scare at Spotify Camp Nou was significant, as all attention on the pitch and in the stands focused on what was happening to the Blaugrana star. Initial examinations suggest a rupture. Tests will be conducted this Thursday to determine the actual extent of the injury. He could miss the remainder of the League (six matches). The World Cup starts next June 11, and in 53 days, on the 15th, the Spanish national team debuts against Cape Verde.

It was the last thing he did before getting injured but it proved fundamental. It was the last time he touched the ball but it was enough to secure a victory that leaves Barça with a nine-point lead in the championship when only eighteen remain. Lamine Yamal placed the ball on the penalty spot and scored. When he shot, he suffered a hamstring tear. A significant loss, but his teammates knew how to survive in the second half to secure a hard-fought, eventful, and worked triumph. Barça continues to count their home games in the League as victories, and that strength is a treasure.

A Real Madrid going through the motions, amidst a cold and indifferent atmosphere, remains hanging by a thread of hope in the League after defeating Alavés with goals from Mbappé and Vinícius, booed at the start, redeemed later, a bipolarity repeated ad nauseam this season at the Bernabéu, which at times doesn’t know what feeling to identify with its team (2-1).

A long sequence of centuries and chances precedes our existence until determining the place of birth, so there is no merit to attribute to the outcome, but humble gratitude if, among all the cities in the world, Barcelona falls to you by chance. If we complain about

If we ask Arthur Fils (21) what he thinks, how he sees himself a month from now, now that the silhouette of Roland Garros looms on the horizon and the French are in need of myths, then the man, the new RCTB champion, covers his face with his hands, shakes his head and answers:

As if no time had passed, how playful chance is, the RCTB parish evokes the past with encouragement.

Accustomed to the righteous diatribes, like the one that said Atleti was the team of the people –something that no one has believed for a long time due to the squad and the checkbook to build it–, the favorite’s suit turned against Cholo. Comfortable in guerrilla warfare, in

Pablo Marín, the boy from Logroño whose first football memories are playing the drum and trumpet in the stands watching his father play, arrived at Zubieta at 13 years old and was a ball boy in the 2021 semi-final, and yesterday, in an exciting and nail-biting final, he gave Real Sociedad their third Copa del Rey title. A penalty shootout that featured another hero, Unai Marrero, who had already saved a penalty in the League last season against Kylian Mbappé and was key in the round of 16 against Osasuna this season. He did the same against shots from Sörloth and Julián Álvarez. A metaphor for an ill-fated final for Atlético, always behind, from the first breath to the last. It’s a matter of rewinding (2-2, 3-4 en penaltis).
