Inter gifts the match to Madrid

Inter gifts the match to Madrid

The result could have been scandalous, such was the flood of chances missed by both teams, especially when the match completely opened up in the second half. But before that, what was seen was one team that proposed, Inter, and the other, Madrid, which took advantage of their opponent’s ridiculous blunders to take control of the match. Mbappé and Valverde were the ones to thank Inter for their mistakes and put Mourinho’s team in the lead, who ended up securing a hard-fought victory in their Champions League debut.

From pop to punk in a fist at the start of Primavera Sound

From pop to punk in a fist at the start of Primavera Sound

As a small festival reduced to just four artists, Primavera Sound opened its 24th edition with an impossible combination to fit into any musical box other than the one that brings together those who enjoy going to concerts, especially when it is free. And indeed, the traditional Wednesday session brought together at the Fòrum the 30,000 lucky ones who got their pass at no cost to see in one go the indie of Wet Leg and the airy pop of Guitarricadelafuente, backed by none other than Yard Act and Ouineta, British punk flashes and local electropop. Harder to mix more in less space.

Werner Herzog mimics Kate and Rooney Mara in the dreamlike 'Bucking Fastard'

Werner Herzog mimics Kate and Rooney Mara in the dreamlike ‘Bucking Fastard’

While George Clooney grabbed the cameras with his bow tie and received the Golden Lion at the Palazzo del Cinema, in the adjacent Darsena room a film was born that needs more qualifiers than just auteur cinema. Werner Herzog’s wild imagination brought two Hollywood sisters, Kate and Rooney Mara, to work together for the first time. And to do so mimetically, interpreting the text and gestures in unison and as a single being. Something very disturbing and in pursuit of one of Herzog’s “essential” films. And there are only a couple that “reach very, very deeply to the core of who I am,” warns the German director.

Sánchez will decide the end-of-term schedule after the August break

“In August, with the cool weather, we will reflect on the calendar,” they ironically claim at Moncloa about the key dates Pedro Sánchez is considering for the final stretch of the legislature, in which the only thing he cannot foresee in advance are the judicial landmines that may still explode amid the avalanche of cases of alleged corruption affecting the Government and the PSOE.

The Magòria renovation project gets underway for the fourth time, with works scheduled for 2028

This is one of those municipal projects that generate a certain sense of déjà vu in anyone who follows urban planning information in Barcelona with some interest. The City Council announced this Thursday the awarding of the Landskrona project in the ideas competition to define the Magòria complex, in Sants-Montjuïc, on the mountain side bank of Gran Via. The works, which include sports facilities, a new garden, and the underground work and cleaning center of Parc i Jardins, should start in January 2028. The fact is that something similar happened in the previous decade, with the expectation of being able to cut the ribbon in 2022.

European individuals have €440 billion exposed to a possible AI bubble

At the European Central Bank (ECB), they do not talk about a bubble around AI, but they are already hinting at the term and beginning to imagine such a scenario. A group of economists from the institution has just published an article measuring the eurozone’s exposure to the “AI boom” and describing the different transmission channels to the European economy in case of a market crash. They estimate that only households in the eurozone have invested, often unknowingly, more than 440 billion euros in the uncertain business battle around this technology, but the total figure for all European investors is much higher.
