One of the most popular faces in celebrity magazines since the 1970s, a witness to the golden age of European royalty, the investor and sociality Philippe Junot (Paris, 1940), Princess Caroline of Monaco's first husband, has died at the age of 85, according to an announcement by his eldest daughter, Victoria. Junot had two other children, Alexis and Isabelle, who is married to Álvaro Falcó, Marquis of Cubas. This connection has kept the businessman in the public eye and led him to live for periods in Madrid, where he died on Thursday.

It had never happened before that a tennis player ranked 204th in the ATP rankings was able to win a Masters 1000. But Valentin Vacherot had a sneak peek when he posted a message on social media before the Shanghai tournament saying: "Try to give it your all because you never know when you'll know." Almost no one paid attention to the message because he was still an unknown tennis player representing the Principality of Monaco and he's already 26 years old. He's not a promising youngster. But two weeks later, Vacherot produced one of the tennis news of the season, a fairy tale, because not only did he win the tournament, but he did so by defeating his cousin Arthur Rinderknech in the final in three sets (4-6, 6-3, 6-3). A double surprise, since Rinderknech was ranked 54th before the Chinese event. No one could have ever imagined this family final. And even less so that Vacherot, the underdog, would win.

Barça already knows the first part of the road to reaching the dream Champions League final, which will be played on May 30 at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest (Hungary). Hansi Flick's team, who lost last season in a traumatic semifinal against Inter Milan, will begin the top continental competition in mid-September with a match away from Barcelona due to the unavailability of the Camp Nou and Montjuïc stadiums.
