@BorjaIglesias9 dice que mis canciones le ayudaron a construir su personalidad, a ser crítico con la sociedad y que le dieron valor para luchar contra la intolerancia y la desigualdad y a hacer un poco mejor este mundo. Pero hoy es él el que me inspira a mi y a otros muchos. Nos recuerda que no hay que quedarse callado ante las injusticias y es un gran ejemplo para los niños. Un tipazo. Dentro y fuera del campo. Gracias por el momentazo de ayer, fue muy emocionante para mi y mi pequeña familia. Siempre a tu lado querido hermano.
Hasta siempre, LEYENDA. Siento como un gran honor que mi selección haya formado parte de tu último partido en la Copa del Mundo. Dejas un legado imborrable. Seguramente merecías otro final, pero, al menos, te ganó tu segundo país. Aquí siempre serás querido y bien recibido por los auténticos aficionados a este maravilloso deporte.
@jvergelesb Temeridad fue tenerte a tí todos esos años al frente de la sanidad extremeña. Poco nos ha pasado con semejante persona, desde el mismo respeto que tú transmites.
Te ganan sufriendo. Te ganan sin brillo. Te ganan en noches en las que no son superiores. Te ganan en tiempo extra. Te ganan en penales. Y te ganan cuando parece que es imposible ganar. Es su competencia. Es su certamen. Es su torneo por excelencia. No trates de entenderlo porque NO TIENE EXPLICACIÓN. Se llama Real Madrid, pero tú también puedes decirles: LOS REYES DEL FÚTBOL MUNDIAL.
Ayer pude ver “Vivir para contarlo” en directo. Violadores Del Verso en el escenario y yo abrazando a Zatu entre bambalinas mientras Lírico decía “Que no estaban muertos, joder, estaban de parranda”
Viva el rap 🥲
El Real Madrid ha dado todos los pasos que hay que dar, en el orden correcto y con una trayectoria casi inmaculada: es campeón nacional, continental y mundial, con solo 1 derrota en todo el proceso.
Tal y como está ahora el planeta fútbol, con wild cards absurdas, equipos que llevan décadas sin ser campeones de sus ligas, jugando las principales competiciones y campeones continentales que pierden 6-7 partidos e incluso pueden ser goleados antes de ponerse la corona, hay que reconocer la excelencia de un club que convierte lo extraordinario en cotidiano.
Esta victoria significa mucho más para el equipo que un partido ganado. Significa esfuerzo, unidad y constancia dentro y fuera del campo.
Gracias madridistas por nunca soltarnos de la mano, este triunfo es vuestro. 🤍 ¡HalaMadrid!
Vamos, @RafaelNadal!
As you get ready to graduate from tennis, I’ve got a few things to share before I maybe get emotional.
Let’s start with the obvious: you beat me—a lot. More than I managed to beat you. You challenged me in ways no one else could. On clay, it felt like I was stepping into your backyard, and you made me work harder than I ever thought I could just to hold my ground. You made me reimagine my game—even going so far as to change the size of my racquet head, hoping for any edge.
I’m not a very superstitious person, but you took it to the next level. Your whole process. All those rituals. Assembling your water bottles like toy soldiers in formation, fixing your hair, adjusting your underwear... All of it with the highest intensity. Secretly, I kind of loved the whole thing. Because it was so unique—it was so you.
And you know what, Rafa, you made me enjoy the game even more.
OK, maybe not at first. After the 2004 Australian Open, I achieved the #1 ranking for the first time. I thought I was on top of the world. And I was—until two months later, when you walked on the court in Miami in your red sleeveless shirt, showing off those biceps, and you beat me convincingly. All that buzz I’d been hearing about you—about this amazing young player from Mallorca, a generational talent, probably going to win a major someday—it wasn’t just hype.
We were both at the start of our journey and it’s one we ended up taking together. Twenty years later, Rafa, I have to say: What an incredible run you’ve had. Including 14 French Opens—historic! You made Spain proud... you made the whole tennis world proud.
I keep thinking about the memories we’ve shared. Promoting the sport together. Playing that match on half-grass, half-clay. Breaking the all-time attendance record by playing in front of more than 50,000 fans in Cape Town, South Africa. Always cracking each other up. Wearing each other out on the court and then, sometimes, almost literally having to hold each other up during trophy ceremonies.
I’m still grateful you invited me to Mallorca to help launch the Rafa Nadal Academy in 2016. Actually, I kind of invited myself. I knew you were too polite to insist on me being there, but I didn’t want to miss it. You have always been a role model for kids around the world, and Mirka and I are so glad that our children have all trained at your academies. They had a blast and learned so much—like thousands of other young players. Although I always worried my kids would come home playing tennis as lefties.
And then there was London—the Laver Cup in 2022. My final match. It meant everything to me that you were there by my side—not as my rival but as my doubles partner. Sharing the court with you that night, and sharing those tears, will forever be one of the most special moments of my career.
Rafa, I know you’re focused on the last stretch of your epic career. We will talk when it’s done. For now, I just want to congratulate your family and team, who all played a massive role in your success. And I want you to know that your old friend is always cheering for you, and will be cheering just as loud for everything you do next.
Rafa that!
Best always, your fan,
Roger
