The electoral board validates the endorsement of Enrique Riquelme, who will face Florentino

In the same place where Joan Laporta delivered the final blow to Barça’s 2021 elections, with his famous banner in front of the Bernabéu alongside the slogan “Looking forward to seeing you again,” Florentino Pérez launched an electoral campaign 22 years later. A message to highlight his legacy, with the names of the seven cities where the white team lifted the Champions League under his leadership, and a message for the future: “Much history to make.” The omnipresent “best president in history” won the elections in 2000 and 2004, left a year later, and returned in 2009 after a period during which Ramón Calderón led the club.

Crucial turn for the accused: Aldama will acknowledge the corruption that Ábalos denies

The crucial moment arrives in the trial for the mask case. The three defendants, former minister José Luis Ábalos, his advisor Koldo García, and the commissioner Víctor de Aldama, will testify between today’s and tomorrow’s sessions, which are expected to be long. This Wednesday’s session will begin with the interrogation of the businessman, one of the key pieces of this process, which was initiated, among other things, thanks to his agreement with the Prosecutor’s Office.

Barça also starts with a big win in the Champions League: 5-1 against Feyenoord

First day of school. In the senior one. In the Champions League, that competition which, needless to say, Barcelona fans want to embrace in the final on June 6 at the Metropolitano. Just in case, don’t make plans. Beating the innocent Feyenoord 5-1 will not be the most meritorious victory of the league phase where, among others, PSG and Manchester City are present. But seeing Barcelona enjoy Raphinha’s double, the acrobatic goal of the exotic Adeyemi, Lamine Yamal’s direct free kick with the captain’s armband, and even Gabriel Jesus’s header is something to savor. This is the Champions League and Barça asks for and deserves a license to dream.

Castellet’s book about Cela that never saw the light

On July 23, 1962, Josep M. Castellet sent Camilo José Cela a brief letter in which he indicated that the work the Catalan critic was going to publish a few months later was about to be finalized: “I would appreciate it if you could let me know, by return mail, the corrections you pointed out to me in Formentor regarding the work I did on your work for Revista Hispánica Moderna. I haven’t asked you before because, as Susana Redondo de Feldman told me, the original has not yet gone to print and there is plenty of time to make them.”

The strength of Spain: an MVP for everyone

The strength of Spain: an MVP for everyone

Before the first World Cup semifinal, it was easy to jump on the bandwagon of those who saw France as the favorite. No one underestimated Spain, far from it, but Deschamps’ team was the one leaving the best impressions in the tournament, without a doubt. Four top-level forwards placed them as the best attacking team. “We are facing the best team…”, De la Fuente began telling his players in the locker room, before they went out to warm up at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas. It was only a prelude to the message he wanted to convey, the concept that is leading him to success. “… But we are the best team,” he concluded to energize the players before attempting what would become an overwhelming storming of the Bastille. July 14 will also be a national holiday in Spain because it opened the way to fight for the red team’s second star.
