⚽ WC26 | FINAL 🇪🇸⭐⭐ NEW YORK

By match day we were a few more again, and still massively outnumbered by Argentines. Didn’t matter 🇦🇷

Spain vs Argentina. There was only one team on the pitch. We dominated, created chance after chance, had goals that should have counted. And still 0-0. That quiet fear of penalties creeping in, the kind nobody says out loud 😬

Until minute 106. Ferran Torres 🔥 I honestly don’t remember the next five minutes. Just noise, arms, my friends, and a few tears I’ll deny if you ask 🥲

Three stadiums. Three rounds. A group that kept growing from the first game to the last whistle. Spain got its second star, and we got a story we’ll be telling for years 🏆

⚽ WC26 | COUNTDOWN 🇪🇸 NEW YORK

A few days in New York before the final 🗽

Streets, views, sightseeing, and plenty of Spain shirts around the city. The city at its best, and we made the most of every bit of it. And the whole time, that little buzz in the background: Sunday, final, Spain ⏳

Honestly, not a bad way to wait for the biggest game of your life 😎

Sunday, here we go… taken in New York City by @manuelplato.p

⚽ WC26 | SEMIFINAL 🇪🇸 DALLAS

Zero expectations. France were strong, everyone knew it, so we did the only sensible thing: celebrate anyway!

Two more friends joined us for this one, and it turned into the best pre-game of the whole trip (let’s just say I was in very good spirits by kickoff 🍻😂)

And then Spain made it look easy. 2-0, no drama, not a single moment of panic.

The weirdest feeling I’ve had in a semifinal: calm. Like the team knew something we didn’t 😌

Walking out that night, nobody talked about Dallas. Everyone was already talking about New York 🗽

Next stop, New York! 😬 taken in Dallas, Texas by @manuelplato.p

⚽ WC26 | PIT STOP 🇪🇸 LAS VEGAS & GRAND CANYON

Four days between the quarterfinal and the semi. Too long to sit still, too short to think about anything else ⏳

So we hit the road. Vegas first, still hoarse from LA, celebrating a win like it was already the final 🎰

Then the Grand Canyon, which shuts everyone up for a minute, no matter how loud the group is 🏜️

Standing at the edge of that thing, I remember thinking: whatever happens next, this was already worth it

⚽ WC26 | QUARTERFINAL 🇪🇸 LOS ANGELES

Summer’s over ☀️ Time for the recap 😉

We crossed an ocean with a group of friends and tickets for three rounds

No guarantees we’d see Spain in more than one, but we were staying until New York either way

That’s what following your team means: you go anyway ✈️

Spain vs Belgium. 1-1, the clock running out, everyone trying not to say what they were thinking…

Then minute 88, Merino, and a stadium full of Spaniards hugging strangers like family 🙌

Semifinal, here we go. But first, a little detour… taken in Los Angeles, California by @manuelplato.p

A few days in Cadaqués, celebrating Alex & Toti with old Adidas friends and making new memories ❤️🥂

Some people you meet at work. Some become friends for life

Reunions, laughs, endless stories, a beautiful wedding and a pretty perfect setting

Hasta la próxima ❤️ @cosmaosevignon @totiebner @luciasaul @joshuacravata @natbrown90 @martuscher by @manuelplato.p

Simple realidad: el mundo pertenece a quienes sueñan y se atreven a actuar…

Cada día hablo con personas que buscan cosas como:

- Un trabajo que les apasione
- Crecer profesionalmente
- Mayor abundancia
- Flexibilidad horaria
- Ser su propio jefe

Y todas no lo logran por un común denominador:

EL MIEDO 👻

Miedo al cambio, a perder lo que tienen, al juicio de los demás, a lo desconocido…

Este miedo las frena, mientras ven a otros avanzar y lograr lo que desean

Y entonces se preguntan… ¿Cómo narices lo harán? 🤔

La respuesta es sencilla:

1. Aclaran lo que quieren
2. Trazan un plan para lograrlo
3. Actúan, a pesar del miedo

Porque creeme, también lo tienen, pero han asimilado que el miedo no es su enemigo, sino su mejor aliado

Pues es una señal de que vale la pena luchar por lo que quieres

La diferencia está en cómo te enfrentas a él, y lo haces con confianza cuando tienes las ideas claras

Por eso las personas exitosas entienden que no siempre deben enfrentar el miedo solas

Buscan apoyo para aclarar su visión, reducir riesgos y aumentar sus posibilidades de triunfar 💪🏼

¡Recuerda que la vida premia a quienes se atreven!

Así que da el primer paso, busca ayuda si lo necesitas y descubre todo lo que te espera al otro lado del miedo 💫 by @manuelplato.p
