Much more than a record, by Julio Salinas

Mmuch more than a record (10):

Beyond Barça’s qualification for the Champions League semi-finals, the great news for women’s football was an image that is already iconic and forever. The Camp Nou full. A high for all and a message for the future. If they are given the visibility they deserve – the work of the media, but also of the clubs themselves – they can consider opening the country’s great states and giving them the importance that they have been earning for some time in the field. That led to a domino effect in every way and would only benefit the soccer players.

Alcaraz consecrates himself as successor to Rafa Nadal (9)

The role of Carlos Alcaraz in the Miami Masters 1,000 goes beyond lifting the cup or not. His great success was already becoming a finalist when he was only 18 years old. But the Murcian did not stop there and prevailed as the winner of the tournament after beating the Norwegian Ruud with great ease. A title that Rafa Nadal himself does not have, who if nothing goes wrong has a successor in the racket of the Murcian tennis player trained by Ferrero.

Bayern’s inconceivable mistake that could be expensive (5)

It is difficult to understand that in today’s football such an error can be conceded. With all the people in the coaching staff and on the bench, in a team as structured and professional as Bayern Munich. Well, 12 players slipped into the field and it had to be the VAR who notified the referee. An error that lasted 17 seconds, but could cost Nagelsmann’s team all three points.

The lasers mark the intolerable end in Senegal-Egypt (2)

Senegal and Egypt played a place at the next World Cup in Qatar 2022 from the penalty shootout. The selection of Salah and company experienced a very tough confrontation that was totally unsportsmanlike from the bottles thrown at their goalkeeper until the end, when the laser pointers bothered their throwers from eleven meters. An ending that should be repeated… behind closed doors.

Cancer takes Javier Imbroda too soon (0)

Sadness in the world of Spanish basketball after the death of Javier Imbroda, after five years fighting cancer. This damn disease took the former national coach at the age of 61. In addition to his career as a coach, which demonstrates his great talent, his human quality stands out, as demonstrated by the numerous displays of affection that he publicly received. Rest in peace.
