Seven half -mast flags in the Estadi Olílpic Lluís Companys. Banners in the street of the fans and peñistas of Barcelona where “deproles” was read. A minute of silence that will be eternal. And of course. The game. Because the show must continue. Yesterday he did it with three goals and the look of Barça directed to heaven.

“Well, we are improving,” said somewhat spoiled yesterday, President Joan Laporta who on the same day had to lead two institutional expeditions as opposite as water and oil. The one that went in the morning to the funeral of Miñarro and the one that took place at the Via Veneto restaurant, where the food of directives with the Benfica was held. The protocols are also part of the show.

Raphinha twice and Lamine Yamal also raised their arms to heaven when they scored all three goals

At the funeral of the discreet and appreciated Doctor also attended the sports vice president Rafa Yuste and managers such as Aureli Mas, responsible for Sala football, where Miñarro worked for the last seven years until he reached the first football team. The funeral or the squad of the aforementioned section were not missing nor the sports director of Soccer Deco and his deputy Bojan Krkic. “It is a difficult time, but if the group was already strong … now it is more. That piece of Carles who has left will be with us. I am convinced that he will help us, ”said Yuste, who acknowledged that” more than a doctor was a partner. “

Meanwhile, that group of miñarro companions was concentrated in the Melina Tower. They didn’t want to change the routine. And they did not go to the funeral for a concentration issue and because, we insist, the show does not understand exceptions. But all, also the coaching staff led by Hansi Flick, came the day before to the wake of his ‘doc’. That’s what they called him. “Dr. Miñarro was important for us, we loved him very much. We want to send all our support to his family and win today, ”said Ronald Araújo, one of the captains. Then, he had to think about the ball, try to watch Omendi and be aware of tracing the off -game line well. He also needed, like everyone else, courage to enter the divided ball strong. Because the show must continue.

And suddenly, silence was made. Until the noisy 2,600 fans of Benfica who went to the field shut up. In the videomarkers a message appeared in Spanish and then in Portuguese asking for “a respectful minute of silence by Carles Miñarro Garcia, who was a doctor of the first football team and the football team. Rest in peace. ” Then an image of his appeared, accompanied by a black crepe. In the central circle, players like Dani Olmo lowered their heads. Others like Lamine or Raphinha closed their eyes.

He started shooting the ball. Barça pressed. And he scored three goals. Everyone had a common denominator: the hands of their authors went to heaven. Raphinha smiled, dedicating the 1-0 to Miñarro with the knees on the green. Lamine Yamal laughed, the inventor of the first goal of the Brazilian and the executor of 2-1. Also bucket, who hugged Lamine and then accelerated to reach the front of the area and attend Raphinha in 3-1 overcoming all the pressure lines. “Carles has given us strength,” said Raphinha. “We had to win for him and his family,” Balde added. “We will try to win all this year for him,” Pedri said.

Because there are games and ways to face the duel. Yesterday Barça put all his heart offering the best of the shows. And it is already among the eight best teams in Europe. For his ‘doc’.
