☕️ Laporta's latest stunt, Spalletti show and today's 5️⃣ stories | OneFootball

A Clásico Sunday deserves a proper start to the day. So make some coffee and toast, sit back, and enjoy the five stories shaping the football conversation first thing this morning.

Even so, that didn’t stop him from giving us a magical moment after one of his players made a mistake in midfield.

"Always the same mistakes," and then the walk toward the camera with his eyes fixed on the viewers. Cinema.
