Never seen before. A nine-story pillar, a challenge to the laws of physics that seemed impossible just a few years ago, completed this Sunday in the plaza de la Vila de Vilafranca (Alt Penedès) on the diada de Sant Fèlix by a colla castellera accustomed to breaking the barriers of the món casteller. The Castellers de Vilafranca will go down in history as the first colla to complete the nine with folre, manilles, and puntals. A stratospheric construction, with a triple reinforcement structure at the base, that must mobilize more than 200 castellers to become a reality. Madness.
Barça started the title defense with a clear home victory against Costa Adeje Tenerife.

Enric Mas turned the consternation that the Spanish tour had fallen into into a breath of fresh air and a surge of hope for a fanbase that hasn’t celebrated a Spanish victory in the general classification of a grand tour for over a decade, since Alberto Contador’s Giro d’Italia win in 2015.
If the Santiago Bernabéu were a confessional, this August all the Real Madrid footballers have purged their sins. Three matches, three victories, ten goals for and two against, two thrashings at the white stadium with confidence and moments of good play, those of verticality and individual talent that provoke the delight of the fans. But, above all, the feeling of a team offered by Mourinho’s men excites the people: everyone runs, everyone plays, everyone dribbles, everyone hugs… The Portuguese’s influence, for now, is a miracle cure. Right now the dressing room is a calm sea when before it was a boiling pot.
