What could not happen on March 27 in Doha will become a reality next Sunday in New York. The Finalissima, which was supposed to pit the European champion against the champion of America and the world, will take place with the universal title at stake. In spring, the conflict between the United States and Israel with Iran, which destabilized the region and the world in general, prevented Spain and Argentina from facing each other in the second official match in their entire history. That match will now be much more important. Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal will face each other for the first and presumably last time on a playing field. 39 years and longevity records for the Argentine. 19 and precocity marks for the Spanish. The best player in history against the leader of the new generation of footballers.
The Atlanta Stadium is the new Azteca for Argentina, a stage for legendary comebacks and illogical victories for posterity.

There is no national team that endures more when everything is against them. Messi does not want to leave and his teammates do not let him go. In the chaos, Argentina reigns. Let the orderly Spain beware in the final, the albiceleste can never be counted out. No one beats madness.

But Christopher Nolan proposes a different reading of Homer’s poem: one in which Odysseus’s true journey does not end when he sets foot in his homeland, but when he understands the human cost of the war he won and the debt he owes to those who could not return.

The new Sant Jordi Club already has a face and shape, that of an immense multipurpose box 65 meters wide and 27 high – twice the current size – with an aesthetic similar to the Palau Sant Jordi and an outdoor space redesigned to facilitate access and invite people to approach the Montjuïc mountain.
