Friends, how bitter it is to sit to write after this weekend. But it is what touches. If there is something that this shield has taught us, it is to face and always look straight ahead. In good times, and above all, in the not so good.
For a few hours on Saturday, we all dream. The Celta advanced 1-3 in Montjuïc and we began to make accounts, to look sideways at the table, to think that perhaps-perhaps-the league waded us an eye. But football, you know, it insists that we go up and get off the clouds. Barça traced and won 4-3 in the 98th minute.
In full digestion of that outcome, ours came. Inexplicable defeat at the Gran Canaria stadium against Las Palmas, with a goal in the discount. The great Cholo He said it clearly after the game: “It's not lack of attitude, he played badly.” That said, little else I have to add. Cholo knows it. The players know it. The fans know it. You know readers. We all know.
We are also aware of what it touches: to bury the bitterness, lift the head and finish the season in the best possible way and with the view already in the Club World Cup, which is just around the corner. Let's not forget that there is still an international title at stake.
Six games remain: Rayo Vallecano, Deportivo Alavés, Real Sociedad, Ca Osasuna, Real Betis and Girona FC. Six opportunities to end in the best possible way and send a clear message: that this team, even if the championship trophy does not raise, never lower your arms. I have no doubt that the great Cholo And our cracks understand it better than anyone and will be left to the last drop of sweat for the pride of the shirt they represent.
So, it has been a quite hard weekend. Bitter. Very bitter. But I also tell you one thing: today more than ever, Aúpa Atleti!
