From the euphoria of the fourth Champions, to the sadness of a farewell that, although anticipated in recent weeks, still hurts. The departure of Alexia Putellas is now a reality. Three days after being crowned European champions, Barça and their captain have announced her farewell with an emotional video through social media.

That the FC Barcelona defense has gained in tranquility with the signing of Joan Garcia (24) as goalkeeper is a reality. That this summer the club will have to decide who takes over as second goalkeeper, too. The Polish Wojciech Szczesny (36), who signed a renewal for one year plus another optional, has pretty much accepted that he will not continue next season. Who will take the role of second goalkeeper? That is one of the questions being asked at the training ground.

The final of this year’s World Cup could last up to half an hour, something unprecedented until now and which has generated a lot of criticism because it would mean doubling the usual break time between the first half and the second, completely breaking the rhythm of the players. The reason is none other than to accommodate the endless list of artists that FIFA wants to perform during the break and that hardly fit into the 15 minutes established by the regulations.
