Battle for the Finalissima Venue
The venue for the clash between Spain and Argentina has become a political chessboard. While Aleksander Ceferin (UEFA) pushes for the Santiago BernabĂ©u, Chiqui Tapia, president of the AFA, challenges the proposal by demanding River Plateâs Monumental stadium. The problem is logistical: AC/DC is playing in Buenos Aires that day, complicating a standoff already marked by the judicial investigation surrounding Tapia.

The Blaugrana electoral campaign is reaching new heights, with a fierce exchange of blows between Joan Laporta and VĂctor Font.

The social fracture is evident on the eve of the elections.
