When two elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers (African proverb). The transfer of Figo is, a priori, one of the greatest betrayals known in modern soccer. However, after watching the documentary on the case, I dare to define it as an extreme lack of attention that has easily bordered on desperation. Always under …
Back to school
Chills, cramps and hot flashes. Nerves at the surface of the skin. The wait is over and the ball is rolling again on the pitch, and with it the activity of this rational fan returns. After a market with an infinity of circus movements and pre-pandemic transactions, the high expectations of spectacle are guaranteed. My …
Coincidence or causality
Let's abandon any banal introduction that serves to fill lines in this article. Real Madrid's continuous exploits this season in European competition are both unmatched and unimaginable. Any praise seems minuscule in the face of such overcoming displays. However, could they have been predicted? Let's take a step aside and within the entertainment sector let's …

However, football is seasoned with unimaginable unforeseen events, so not trusting your team despite the storm is insulting to say the least. How difficult it is to predict the near …
The extinct art of closing a game
After the irruption of new and multiple competing options to football within the entertainment industry, I consider it attractive to bring up an unusual fact to date in the history of our beloved sport: the extinction of close scores and subsequent celebrations. Despite being somewhat related, a closed match is not the same as watching …
Aupa Atleti!
Last night Neptuno was dressed in red and white, thus announcing the conclusion of a season as competitive as unusual and therefore half of Madrid came out to celebrate the atlético triumph. Simeone's pupils were victorious after a season in which Real Madrid and Barcelona seemed to hand them the crown even before they started. …
