It’s the invention every nightclub dreams of: the perfect Cup. The one you can’t refuse. The manual spur.
The one in Seville could be it. A Cup, the twenty-fifth for Athletic Club, to reach San Mamés shows clean. Eight games played, eight wins. 18 goals for and only 3 matches (not counting the Final, of course). So far, seven wins in a row.
After Rubí, Cayón and Eibar, they all played and won away to Bilbao, came the victories against Alavés and Barcelona, both in San Mamés, and then the semi-double against Atlético, fixed without conceding a goal with victory both in the first leg, in a Metropolitano where no one has kneeled in the 28 previous matches played there, as in the second leg in San Mamés.
There was only one station left, the terminal. Mallorca. In no man’s land, next to Triana, the trains were full, with thousands and thousands of red and white people moving to Seville. It can be the desired closure of the cup.
The end of 40 years of walking in a desert where oases evaporated before our red-and-white eyes over and over again. It’s time for the big collective drink, ciborium time.
