Justice, a highly elusive matter in football, answered the desperate call of the Spanish national team and granted them the second star late, in extra time, but with full merit. La Roja was overwhelmingly superior, dominating all aspects of the game…
From Iniesta to Ferran Torres. From Don Andrés to Mr. Ferran. From Fuentealbilla to Foios. From the right boot to the left boot. From the Jabulani to the Trionda. From Johannesburg to New York. From one Barça player to another blaugrana footballer. The second half of extra time was red again. Although the Manchego genius scored dressed in blue. He was looking for a successor to the person who stitched the first star on the crest and found it in the Valencian forward. A golden thread will unite them forever. So often debated but he always ends up sticking his head out, being the protagonist, making the headlines. The story is his. Ferran II, superstar.
Four decades pursuing artistic excellence and a single evening to celebrate all its legacy. The Peralada Festival gathered this Saturday a hundred and fifty guests at its Mirador del Castell for a dinner-show with which it rightly wanted to keep alive the flame that was first lit in 1987, when Montserrat Caballé sang alongside the orchestra and choir of the Liceu outside the castle in a Mozart Requiem conducted by Antoni Ros-Marbà. Since then, the Ampurdan festival can boast of having offered fifty operas between its own productions and contemporary creations for which they put all the effort.

Once again, Gianni Infantino’s FIFA lied. The halftime show was extended, from the referee’s whistle at the end of the first half until the players returned to the field, a total of 27 minutes and 20 seconds, quite a bit more than the 17 minutes promised by the organization. As many feared, the break lasted almost half an hour. Undoubtedly, the longest halftime in history.
