"They (female players) are restructuring what they think needs to be restructured and we are focused on what we have to do, on winning". Carvajal = 0 World Cup won.Women's National Team = 1 World Cup won. I don't know who is focused on winning, Carvajal.

Pep Guardiola at the Sergio Busquets' farewell ceremony: "As I know you'll soon be a coach, I'll be waiting for you on the bench. Just know that I'll take the ball away from you and that I'll mark your midfield, just know that. You have no other option". @TheAthleticFC

You can agree or disagree with the award winner, but it seems to me to be very impolite as a club that Real Madrid has turned its face away from Rodri as if he didn't deserve the award. You have to have a bit more class. Congrats, Rodri!.

Bojan career was always precocious. He made his first-team debut at the age of 16. Now he is retiring at 32. At such a young age he became the hope of Barça fans. Too much pressure ended in anxiety.He opened up about mental health. Very interesting to read.

It's a shame that the greatest success of Spanish women's football has to be tarnished. As if Vilda and everything that happened before the WWC wasn't enough. If they are really committed to women's football, it's time to take a step back. The best team in the world deserve it.
