The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, received the Spanish national team this Monday at the Palacio de la Moncloa upon their return from the United States. After visiting the Royal Family at the Palacio de la Zarzuela, Luis de la Fuente’s men went to the residence of the President of the Government to celebrate La Roja’s victory. The Minister of Education, Vocational Training, and Sports, Milagros Tolón, was also present at the reception.

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).

There are stages that end on a high note because they deserve it. There are journey endings that leave the heart full and the mind at peace. And there are goodbyes that perfectly summarize a cycle. Lewandowski had all of that, a forward of an era who gave four magnificent years to Barcelona. And Barça also achieved everything, putting the finishing touch on the league they won by becoming the first team to win all home matches in a 20-team league. The blaugrana went a perfect 19 with their victory over Betis.
