Confetti rain and a huge stage to welcome the European champions. And they, the protagonists, the Barça players parading with sunglasses on. Many were hydrating with water bottles in their hands. Others, like Claudia Pina and Ona Batlle, came out with beer. Mapi León, with the number 4 jersey – like the four Champions League titles won -, was one of the most applauded of the afternoon. It was her last celebration since, like Ona Batlle, she will head to the Premier League. And the captains Irene Paredes, Patri Guijarro, and Marta Torrejón each appeared with the trophies of the Super Cup, the Queen’s Cup, and the Women’s League.

The open war for the presidency of Real Madrid between Florentino Pérez and Enrique Riquelme continues to accumulate episodes. After last night’s televised battle on Antena 3, this morning Riquelme’s candidacy went on the attack by hanging a banner in which he subtly accuses Florentino Pérez of wanting to sell the club.

It was a match to inflate numbers and aim for records, and it did not disappoint. Miami witnessed the highest-scoring game among the 103 played in the World Cup. England took the bronze after a great first half in which France did not show up. The French reaction in the second half served to add excitement and for Mbappé to achieve his double scoring objective. With a double to make it 3-4, he extended his lead in the Golden Boot (10 goals, two more than Messi) and became the top scorer in World Cup history with 22 goals (one more than Leo). The final is still to come.
