After nine years off the air, Crackòvia will return to the screen with a new season that will combine the characters that turned the program into a benchmark for Catalan sports humor with new additions linked to current football events. 3Cat is bringing back the format with a new distribution strategy that places the digital platform at the center, but also maintains conventional broadcasting on TV3. The first episode will premiere on Monday, October 26th at 8:30 PM on the 3Cat platform and can be seen on Thursday on television, after Polònia.

I suspect that the stands of the Camp Nou will not take long to chant "Mourinho, stay" with an effervescence similar to the one with which they already sing "Raphinha, captain". It will not surprise me, to be honest, because the new stage of the Portuguese coach at Real Madrid looks like it will end fatally. Fourth in the standings, six points behind Barça after seven matchdays played, without a game, soul, footballing solutions or self-criticism and already pointing to malevolent conspiracies in the shadows, it sounds like an unbeatable path to crashing into the ravine just as it begins. And there is already a date for the show: on October 25th at nine o'clock at night, Mourinho's Madrid visits the Camp Nou.

If Enrique Riquelme defeats Florentino Pérez at the polls on Sunday, Erling Haaland will be a Real Madrid player. This is the announcement made by the candidate in the white club's elections. Riquelme presented it with a Real Madrid jersey showing the name of the Norwegian star from Manchester City and the number nine, accompanied by a notarized document in which he commits not to sell any percentage of the club if he becomes president. "I have signed a personal notarized guarantee where if I fail to keep any of my promises, I will pay 100% of all fees for Real Madrid's 100,000 members next season," he confessed.

1. Adif and the train drivers who operate in Catalonia have thoroughly inspected all the tracks and identified the number of dangerous areas. They have reported that the sections of commuter rail lines that need repair are exactly 155. Not 154, not 156. 155. Does anyone think this number is a coincidence? Those of us who have been suspicious for some time now see it as a provocation every time this number is mentioned.

"I could call Mourinho at three in the morning and he'd answer." That's what Álvaro Arbeloa said before visiting Benfica's stadium on the final matchday of the Champions League group stage. It was a crazy match that went to the home side (4-2) with a goal from goalkeeper Trubin in the 98th minute, which secured the Portuguese team's place in the round of 32 (a 3-2 victory would have eliminated them on goal difference). Real Madrid's defeat – combined with the other results of the day – also dropped them from third to ninth place and forced them to play this qualifying round to reach the round of 16. The draw has paired Arbeloa with Mourinho once again. The first leg will be on February 17th or 18th at the Estádio da Luz, while the return leg will be on February 24th or 25th at the Bernabéu.

"Why?" This is the question on the minds of many Real Madrid fans after their 4-2 defeat at Benfica, which left them outside the top eight in the Champions League. The script for the final European night was worthy of an Oscar-nominated film. Barça came from behind to beat Copenhagen 4-1 and finish fifth, while Mourinho, the special oneHe won the battle against Álvaro Arbeloa, forcing Real Madrid to play two more matches if they want to reach the round of 16. With Real Madrid in ninth place, Bodø/Glimt – who come into this match after beating Manchester City (3-1) and Atlético Madrid (1-2) – or José Mourinho's Benfica are the likely opponents for Los Blancos in the round of 32. The draw takes place this Friday.
