“Metaphors for a Moment: Barcelona’s Triumph and the Final Stretch of the League”

Sometimes, to explain a moment, to give an account of the moment, it turns out that we don’t have enough images or metaphors to help us understand the thing or to give it a precise meaning. Sometimes, poetic claims come to us in a rush, crazy, not knowing where to choose.

Let’s go in parts. Saturday night, the Barça comfortably won the Betis and what we can already call, unfailingly, the “countdown” began. 18 points remain in play and there is a gap of 11 points. In the next interweekly day, if the Barça meets and the Madrid poke at Royal Arena, it will be 15 against 14 margin. That is to say, and without having to be a mathematician, the Barça can win the League a Cornellà-el Pratleaving behind, as a tip, a scent trail of second among the parakeets.

Well, at least it’s a bit of excitement in a final stretch that promised to be agonizing, and not for fear of losing the lead (that already happened) but for the heavy air that accompanied the team until they reached the promised land of ‘a triumph that was almost given more by the absence of the opposite than by its own ambition. The truth is that the Barça on Saturday it was like the expected May rain (at the end of April), which soaked the spoons to the bone, physically and spiritually. This is the first metaphor. After too many days of drought, the forces of nature that were sleeping in the infirmary finally came together. one Pedri in shape (slowly) is a ray of hope, and more so if there is the compass of Busquets and the tempestuous power ofAraujoand with Lewandowski a little more intoned and with Dembele’s once again to the side.

The second metaphor is musical. These days I don’t know if they have noticed that one Bruce Springsteen he has slept, walked, eaten and sung in Barcelona. An excursion with your friends, as they say. One of his songs is about travel and dreams. It’s called ‘Thunder Road’ and it says: “‘Show a little faith, there’s magic in the night'”. And he adds: “‘Hey, I know it’s late, we can make it if we run'”. That it comes to such a thing that we do not lose faith because there is night magic and even though it is late, we can get it if we run.

Those who went to the concert a Montjuïc and also in theSpotify Camp Nou maybe they thought of this soundtrack to join the two shows. The first, guaranteed. The second, with hints of magic and speed. Bruce he doesn’t sing it, but he Dynamic Duoyes: ‘Quince años, tiene mi amor’, which are the ones the 4th grade boy has who became the Tro road (the “Route 41”) for Barcelona fans, with bursts of childlike enthusiasm to forget debts, various upheavals, credits, mortgages, the crazy increase in the card and other flourishes for the style.

And third metaphor. He pronounced it Haldun Firat Kokturkwho is not a Turkish side but the builder of the reform of the Camp Nou “It will be like the Jerusalem of sports: everyone will want to visit it». We hope that apart from tourists and businessmen, the fan will also want to enter the temple. To watch football, especially to watch football.
