While Real Madrid was facing an uphill battle in the clásico with a 2-0 from the 18th minute, Kylian Mbappé was watching from the capital as he could not travel due to a hamstring injury. His trip to Cagliari (Italy) with his girlfriend Ester Expósito still lingers, and some disturbing images show him leaving the Valdebebas training ground smiling after Valverde and Tchouaméni fought in the locker room. It was a self-destructive week at Madrid, also for Mbappé.

Winning the League. And then, carrying out a renewal as eagerly awaited by Barcelona fans as it was desired by Hansi Flick, his family, and, of course, Joan Laporta. That was the premise Deco noted in his agenda when he heard the German coach say he wanted to remain linked to the Barcelona club after being eliminated in the Champions League quarterfinals against Atlético at the end of March.

Kilos of confetti and tons of excitement were thrown and collected throughout the city. Hundreds of thousands of people came out to accompany the parade, which confirms that Barcelona excites, that it has touched a chord and reaffirms its connection with the people and especially with the young culés. The streets embraced the League champions, the footballers who crushed Madrid in 35 matches. The most uninhibited fans identify with the fun spirit that this team exudes on and off the field. It is a champion with a lot of charisma. Or with aura, as they say now.
