The Department of Agriculture has asked the Tour de France organization to make a change in the route in the final section of the second stage of this cycling competition to avoid passing through Collserola, an area affected by swine fever. The Generalitat argues that “this is not the first time a route has been changed due to a health crisis.”

El Barcelona, the new champion since May 10, can now rest. They deserve it. Some can already think about the World Cup and others about their trips. In fact, the blaugrana team left half an hour early for vacation. The season could have ended when the top scorer Lewandowski said goodbye with what he does best: a goal of opportunism and instinct. However, the disconnection was evident and Valencia did not miss the chance to come back with two goals in five minutes.

The season was clearly pointing towards Europe before the endless suffering with a record negative streak. But in the end, Espanyol can breathe a sigh of relief. The blanquiazul team secured their stay after winning in Pamplona. The goals from Carlos Romero and Kike García ensured that Manolo González’s team remains in the First Division without having to wait for a nerve-wracking final matchday. The future will be seen, with Monchi accompanying the team at El Sadar as the new sporting director. But the present indicates that the blanquiazul fans will be able to watch the Espanyol-Real Sociedad match on Saturday with peace of mind.

Arteta’s Arsenal, which seemed on the ropes seven days ago, crowns its fantastic week with an almost definitive step towards winning the Premier League due to Manchester City’s stumble and with a ticket to the Champions League final in Budapest (Saturday, May 30) after a suffocating tie against Atlético, who will end the season empty-handed. Simeone’s gamble to put everything into the Cup, a final they lost on penalties to Real Sociedad, and the European competition, in which they performed at a superlative level, did not pay off perfectly, but they were knocked out by details against the ‘gunners’, who had more composure and squad depth, victorious in the delicate moments in both matches.
