The resounding victory of Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon against the great Novak Djokovic had as witness Kate Middleton, who reappeared with his daughter Charlotte to enjoy the best tennis that can be seen on the planet, and then to give the Spanish champion and the Serbian rival their well-deserved trophies. Hours after the winner would steal a smile from the Princess of Wales, Eight hundred and some kilometres from London we met William of England and his son George, who met the king Felipe VI and with his daughter Sofia in Berlin in the final of the European Championship, in which Spain won to the delight of all Spaniards, especially the Infanta, who at 17 years old lived an afternoon to go down in history that she will never forget but who refused to hand over the trophy after her father offered her the privilege of doing so.
Where were you then? It is the famous phrase, chorus of the song The last on the line and the name of a nostalgia programme presented by Hilario Pino on Telemadrid and a few years ago by Ana Pastor on laSexta. That phrase that sounds so familiar to us serves to highlight a weekend of those that we will never forget. Nor Donald Trump. In just 48 years, events have taken place that will go down in history and will allow us to ask ourselves where you were then. Where were you when they tried to kill Donald Trump? Where were you when Carlos Alcaraz won his second Wimbledon? Where were you when Spain won its fourth Euro Cup against England? Where were you when man landed on the Moon 55 years ago?
Infanta Sofia, with her long-sleeved white blouse and red trousers in homage to the National Team, enjoyed her Sunday Fly me to the Moon: He will always remember that on this July 14th he was in Berlin, with his father, greeting the future king of England and the next, Prince George, to support the Spanish team in the Euro Cup final, just as he will never forget being with his mother at the Women’s World Cup final in Australia a year ago with our heroines.
Both her father, King Felipe VI, and the Infanta, like all of Spain, enjoyed the match, but they did so in person, live and in person. It is not the first time that she has accompanied her father to this type of sporting event. She did so in May of last year, when she also went to the final of the Copa del Rey. In 2016, at just 9 years old (she is now 17), she was also with her father at the Bernabéu to watch a match in which Madrid was playing for a place in the Champions League final against Manchester City.

Infanta Sofía admitted that she was “excited” and anticipated Spain’s victory, saying that our team was managing possession very well before the goal was scored. After the match, the Royal Family took to social media to congratulate the national team and did so with several photographs of the match in which some of the most special moments of the game were immortalised, which both the King and his daughter had enjoyed to the full.
As everyone knows the young woman’s great love for football, King Felipe VI found in his daughter the best companion and representative of our country for a very close final. Just as her father did with his red tie, the young woman also chose this same colour for her trousers, thus showing unconditional support for the Spanish National Team. To complete the look, the youngest daughter of the King and Queen opted for a simple white shirt and a trench coat in the traditional beige colour to combat the drop in temperatures in Germany.
With some nervousness throughout the match
Like most Spaniards, that is, with a certain nervousness throughout the match, father and daughter were able to share secrets and each of our players’ plays on the field. Don Felipe was in charge of congratulating the players of the National Team and giving them the medal that accredits them as champions of this Euro 2024. Finally, the time came to lift the cup and it was there that Infanta Sofía showed her most shy side by refusing to be the one in charge of presenting the trophy to the captain of the National Team, Alvaro Morata, leaving all the limelight to his father who ended up sharing with the team the euphoria and joy of becoming champions.
