The star is Spain

The star is Spain

Current European champion. Reigning Olympic champion. Runner-up of the Nations League, in whose previous edition they had won the title. And World Cup finalist. Lamine Yamal was right when he said that if anyone should be afraid, it was France. Because of that trophy case full of successes in the last four years and because of the direct confrontations against the French team, defeated for the third consecutive time by their worst enemy. The bleu team has a handful of stars, but Spain, as a whole, intimidates, scares, and overwhelms. They have now gone 37 matches unbeaten, matching the all-time record held by Italy. Luis de la Fuente and Lamine Yamal’s team is a competitive beast that sent the 2018 champion and 2022 runner-up to third and fourth place. Luis de la Fuente’s team, which turns everything it touches into gold, is the ogre of the championship. The Spanish team dominates the international stage like no other. A stage on which they have nothing to envy anyone, neither with the ball nor without it. On the contrary.

One less debt with Samaranch

One less debt with Samaranch

Juan Antonio Samaranch said of the 1992 Olympic Games that they had managed to change the mentality of the people of Barcelona. “Now they are more optimistic, less whiny,” he defended, in an interview with La Vanguardia in March 1996. The social – almost Olympic – sport of overseeing each and every one of the 73 neighborhoods of Barcelona has not been lost, but if that summer achieved anything, everyone who made it possible agrees, it was to establish a confidence that never left. At the forefront of the metamorphosis, with permission from Maragall, was precisely the now deceased president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), who passed away in 2010, a figure who was honored yesterday just in the year that marks 40 years since his “a la ville de… Barcelona.”
