we said yesterday

It seems that he did not say it (or at least there are reasonable doubts about the phrase pronounced at the University of Salamanca), but the truth is that it has gone down in history as an example of continuity despite the difficulties and vicissitudes of fate. When he returned from prison, to which he had ended up due to denunciations of the Inquisition, four years after his last class, Fray Luis de Leon He entered the Theology classroom and began like this: “We were saying yesterday.” As if nothing had happened.

Something like this has happened to all of us after the Qatari hiatus, after a month and a half of league drought and still under the hallucinations of the mirage called the World Cup. We go back to yesterday which, in the case of Barça, materializes in a goodbye to Pique It seems like it happened a century ago. We return to yesterday (at the beginning of November) with the same shortcomings, the same doubts and the same sensation of being there without being there, of occupying the lead but with what we have on, without too many joys and with deficiencies that barred our way in the Champions and that against Espanyol they showed themselves in all their cruelty.

miserable tie

The injunction allowed Lewandowski appear in the lineup, but what the court of the Litigation could not foresee is that the Polish striker would play, that a judge does not decide, but the footballer himself, who is for the matter or not. He was in Barça’s early goal, that kind of Christmas three-way billiards in which the heads of the Catalans danced the minuet before the static gaze of the parrots. But little more. Y Lewandowski, sooner or later, he will comply with the sanction, with which the maneuver destined to avoid irreparable evils is demonstrated as a toast to the sun. And, on top of that, without avoiding the irreparable evils of a miserable draw.

expelled him Gil Manzano for touching his nose (which is already wanting to expel) and, fearing that he was going to lose the throne of the deranged referees, Mateu Lahoz, on that last day of the year, sunny, at lunchtime and with his mind on dinner and grapes, he did not want to be outdone and starred in an authentic humorous hors d’oeuvre that did not become surreal fanfare by a hair’s breadth. He did not dare to show a yellow card to the Espanyol player to whom he had erased the direct red card, because of doing so (he deserved it after hitting the head of Lewandowski on the grass) would have meant the second. That is to say, he forgave her the expulsion to expel him again after a few seconds. I think Mateu Lahoz there he had an attack of lucidity.

Everything the same, but without Piqué

It will be that we are not used to playing on these dates (and even less a few hours before the chimes) or it will be that the drowsiness of Qatar and the meals of these days took over the atmosphere, it will be the topic that best suits the situation, but what is true, is palpable and verifiable is that Barça fell asleep, as if the game were not with it, as if the drowsiness of the December afternoons were a collective slab from which almost no one was able to shake off. It’s hard to imagine a 23 worse, sportingly, than 22, but that’s the thing. We said yesterday. Everything remains the same, but without Piqué.
