Arrancarnos Mestalla es perforar una parte del sentimiento que nos acompaña desde niños. Es destruir lo que nos hizo felices durante tantos años. Las Ligas, las noches de Champions para la eternidad, partidos de Copa históricos, celebraciones dentro y fuera…
Nadie está preparado para el cambio. Nadie. Ni siquiera los que defienden a ultranza migrar al Nou Mestalla por el crecimiento económico. Es entendible pero duele mucho. Y más cuando los últimos años lo han tenido abandonado, como si de escombros se tratase. Imperdonable.
Decir adiós a un icono futbolístico mundial va a partir almas. Y difícilmente (por no decir imposible) se recuperará con las décadas su mística. Esa verticalidad lo es todo. Y aunque se gane en comodidad, se perderá la esencia.
Es la cuenta atrás y la llorera cuando llegue el momento será interminable.
Orgulloso de seguir formando parte de esta familia.
Gracias al club, compañeros y afición por la confianza.
Seguimos! 💪 𝐀𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐭 @valenciacf! 🦇 #Dimitrievski2028#ADNVCF
🔴 Imatges d'una agressió per part d'un policia a una de les professores concentrades als voltants de la Conselleria d'Educació, a València.
Els fets han ocorregut mentre Educació i sindicats negociaven a l'interior de l'edifici.
While filming Harry Potter, Maggie Smith was secretly fighting breast cancer.
Almost nobody on set knew.
Not Daniel Radcliffe.
Not Emma Watson.
Not Rupert Grint.
She was 72 years old, undergoing chemotherapy, and filming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince at the same time.
The grey bun wig worn by Professor McGonagall hid the fact that Maggie Smith had lost all her hair.
Between takes, she sat in her trailer feeling so ill she later admitted she “wouldn’t have minded dying.”
Then someone would call action.
And she would walk back onto the set, perfectly composed, delivering McGonagall’s lines with that sharp voice and absolute control that made her unforgettable to an entire generation.
Most people had no idea what it was costing her just to stand there.
When she first found the lump, she assumed it was harmless. Years earlier, she’d had a scare that turned out benign.
This time it wasn’t.
The diagnosis came in 2007, right in the middle of filming the Harry Potter series.
The treatment was aggressive. The schedule was relentless.
Maggie Smith decided she would do both.
Chemotherapy and filming.
At the same time.
She kept the diagnosis private for two years.
No public campaign.
No emotional interviews.
No attempt to turn her illness into publicity.
She simply kept showing up to work.
Even after chemotherapy weakened her immune system so badly that she developed shingles during filming of Deathly Hallows, she continued.
Later, she described herself during treatment as looking “like a boiled egg.”
Classic Maggie Smith:
dry humor covering something genuinely brutal.
After treatment ended, she admitted the experience changed her completely.
She said cancer “takes the wind out of your sails.”
One of the greatest stage actresses of her generation became too frightened to return to theater afterward.
Instead, at 75 years old, she took another role.
Violet Crawley in Downton Abbey.
And somehow, after decades of awards and legendary performances, that role made her globally famous all over again.
Her one-liners became internet staples.
Her expressions became memes.
She won three Emmy Awards for the role.
When Maggie Smith died in September 2024 at age 89, tributes poured in from across the world.
Most people remembered Professor McGonagall.
But the remarkable part wasn’t the performance.
It was the fact that she managed to give it while quietly fighting for her life.
“A todos esos niños que tienen miedo porque les puedan decir cualquier cosa: da igual lo que te digan. Tú sigue. Haz lo que te gusta. Y si te dicen cosas… bueno, ¿y qué? Tú estás disfrutando, tú estás haciendo lo que a ti te gusta”
