It is sad that we and the supporters could not attend a beautiful final in the heart of Madrid. We will celebrate the red jersey with our team in our own way and will honor this fantastic feat. Nowadays, sport is increasingly used as a platform to approach social issues. We must understand that sport is above all a question of connection.

Otherwise, it is the essence of sport as a unifying force that is threatened. “
