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.

It was not just winning a League. It was doing it against Madrid. It was not just prevailing in a clásico. It was doing it in the clásico that decided the title. It was not just any celebration. It was a unique celebration. That is how the Barcelona fans understood it at the Spotify Camp Nou, turned into a wave of emotions. That is how the blaugrana players interpreted it, who gave their all to not miss an opportunity that had never come before. Barcelona’s second consecutive League came thanks to two superb goals from Rashford and Ferran. The fifth title of the Flick era arrived with a victory over a shattered and disoriented Madrid, lost in their fights and lack of a plan. Barça’s third League in four seasons was unleashed justly, with the team’s best player, Lamine Yamal, enjoying it from the stands due to injury.
