The news raised by Mayka Navarro in La Vanguardia there was a shock on the night of the white Super Cup. Mounir Nasraouifather of Lamine Yamalhad been stabbed in the Rocafonda neighbourhood in Mataró, apparently in a fight, although the Mossos were still investigating, after carrying out various arrests. The impact was noticeable due to the severity of the wounds at first, although it was later learned that he is not in danger of dying. It is not easy for a boy of barely 17 years to get over the last few months he has lived, with the meteoric rise in football at Barça and in the national team and now the unpleasant news of his father being stabbed in a neighbourhood accustomed to strong emotions. The feeling is that Lamine lives in a continuous Dragon Khan that, surely, is making him mature too soon. Being still a minor, he already gives the image of a much more formed guy than his age should represent. But one thing is the meteoric rise in football and another is the family and private sphere with dramatic incidents like the one that happened with his father, no matter how accustomed he was in his childhood to a complex environment.
Meanwhile, the Madrid of the era Mbappé won their first title in Warsaw by beating a good Atalanta in the Super Cup. It should have been Vinicius who overwhelmed the organized Italian defense with a break and an assist to open the scoring that the Frenchman would close with his first goal for Real Madrid. Real Madrid returns to the era of the great tridents. The one formed by Messi, Suarez and Neymar marked an era, shorter than it seemed, as Leo also put together with Henry and Eto’o -not very long-lived either- or the whites of Cristiano, Bale and Benzema or the latter together with Vinicius and Rodrygo. Madrid gave its fans a good feeling with the usual script: a great save Courtois which saved Atalanta from taking the lead and a stroke of genius from one of its forwards, to which we can add Bellinghamwith notable middle-aged types such as Tchouaméni either Valverdeauthor of the first goal. The seasons, however, are long and there is still a long way to go to define the great titles.
