IBAI x PEDRI - January 2, 2024 (summary)
He’s doing okay but things are a bit tough at the moment
He spent Christmas at home in Tenerife with his family
They play 'Suika Game' a lot in the dressing room (but on the phone and not the PC because it's free there lol)
He laughed a lot with Piqué in the dressing room. Piqué didn't really like training sessions but he was very good in the matches
Have you ever looked at Pique and thought that if you wanted to, you could dribble past him 7 times? - "Yes (laughs)"
Ferran has supported him a lot and is always there for him
Ferran takes the shark mentality very seriously, so Pedri gave him some shark slippers and now Ferran wears them in the dressing room
He tries to help Gavi every day because he knows what it's like to be injured for a longer time and he's confident that he will come back in great condition
Pedri does pilates now after Puyol recommended it to him
Pedri has Aleix García in his Fantasy team (his brother is first, he is second)
He rarely uses Twitter, he uses Twitch and TikTok more
They are behind Xavi 100%
In his opinion, Neymar looks good with every hairstyle
Girona are playing very well and he thinks that they could win LaLiga
Jordi Alba and Piqué were always fighting but that's how they got on. They just liked to fight lmao
Vitor Roque is wonderful, he is always happy, whenever Pedri sees him he is smiling
He doesn't like press conferences at all because they are a bit disturbing as all the journalists stare at you while you just sit there
In the Premier League, they are able to spend 80 or 90 million for players which is unbelievable. In La Liga, academies are what makes the difference
They don't really talk about the Super League in the dressing room
Boca Juniors or River Plate? - He's only watched one game and Boca won, so Boca
For Pedri, Busquets is the best No. 6 in history
His favourite player is Iniesta (in case you somehow didn't know that yet)
His favourite XI in history: ter Stegen, Jordi Alba, Piqué, Ramos, Alves, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo (after being forced by Ibai), Messi and Luis Enrique as a Coach (he changed out Ronaldinho for Neymar later)
Luis Enrique doesn't have What's App. If you want to talk to him, you need to send him an SMS
He was nervous when scoring the decisive penalty against Real Betis because the goalkeeper was a giant
Hardest defeat: penalty shootout against Italy (Euros 2020)
He supported Argentina in the WC final (for Leo)
He would like Haaland to sign for Barça (in his words "as a replacement for Lewy because he won't play for us until he's 60") and he also really likes Julían Alvarez (agent Pedri 👀)
His first friend at Barça was Trincāo
A dream: to win the Champions League and the World Cup
Before games, he likes to listen to slow Spanish music (Julio Iglesias? - "Maybe (laughs)")
His favourite singer is Quevedo (everyone act surprised please)
Vitor is only 18 years old, you cannot ask him to be the new Pele, but he has a lot of confidence from the club
He normally always stops for fans but there are always the same 5-6 TikTokers in front of the training ground so he sometimes doesn't stop if it's just them
He is rewatching Prison Break at the moment, even though he's seen it two times already. The first season is the best one in his opinion
He used to watch anime but not anymore
Kounde has the confidence to wear anything
They should listen to the players more because the calendar is so tightly packed right now and there are too many injuries
He would like to score more goals
He found scoring goals strange when he was younger because he never knew how to celebrate and all he did was run and look stupid
Ibai breaks his computer mouse and engineer Pedri tells him to plug it out and in again (Pedri indeed managed to fix it)
Favourite place in Barcelona? - Camp Nou ❤️
Ibai and Pedri played 'Guess these 100 Players' and Pedri guessed 94/100 right (and Pedri realised he doesn't know enough South American players)

Reader cheating on her boyfriend with Gavi? Pleaseee
SEVILLE - GAVI
summary: you cheat on your boyfriend with Gavi.
a/n: this is my favorite fanfic ive ever written.
if you want to be on the taglist comment!
warning: smut 18+
2010
"INIESTA, GOAL INIESTA!" Gavi jumped up and immediately started celebrating. You also joined him and that led the two of you to jump around together in the middle of the living room.
Your parents and his parents were sitting on the couch, celebrating but smiling because Spain won the World Cup.
"Mama, did Spain win?" You asked and looked over to your mother. Gavi then turned to face you and then looked at the TV again.
"Mira, they won, we won, somos campeones del mundo!" Gavi then grabbed your shoulder and then the two little children you were, started jumping around again.
"Campeones del mundo!" Gavi and you celebrated. Your parents were watching in awe as their two children were getting along so well. You two were truly made for each other.
"I want to be a world champion too." Gavi then turned to face you and you smiled as you put your hands on your hips.
"What about me?" You then crossed your arms and let your head sink. Gavi then took a step closer to you and hugged you.
"You're gonna be there to watch me. I promise." Gavi then lifted your head with his hands and then kissed your cheek.
He promised.
2022
"It's okay, you did your best." You held Gavi close to yourself as you stood in the middle of his hotel room. His arms wrapped tightly around your body while his face was buried in the crook of your neck, soft sobs coming from his mouth.
"I wanted to win, I wanted to win it for us," Gavi mumbled but you shook your head, your hand slowly moved up to his head, going through his soft curls and twisting them around your finger.
"You did more than enough, you played amazing, it's okay. You'll win it next time." You tried to calm him down again. He then lifted up his head and kissed your forehead in the pitch dark you two were standing in.
"Thank you for being here with me. I promise I'll win it next time." He said in just above a whisper to which you responded with a nod.
He promised.
2023
"Amor, we're going, come on!" Your boyfriend Paulo yelled through the entire apartment.
You pushed yourself away from your makeup table and grabbed your phone from the charger. Then you made your way towards the living room and saw your boyfriend standing there.
"My god, why do you always take so long?" He complained in a harsh tone. You just shrugged it off, it wasn't the first time he complained about you.
People would say your relationship is toxic. Because there just have to be fights every single day and if not then you didn't talk that day.
He somehow always found something to complain about and be mad at you about.
Most of those arguments were caused by Gavi, well not really Gavi himself. Paulo has always had a problem with him. it was either "Every girl has a crush on him, I know you do too." or it was "Go and cheat on me with Gavi".
He always had to give his opinion on what Gavi did and everything revolving around him.
You of course protected Gavi with your life, after all, he is your best friend, you had known him since you were born and you wouldn't step out of contact with him because of your boyfriend.
Like now, Paulo drove you to your parents' house to spend the weekend there. Just what he didn't know is that you wouldn't spend the weekend at your parents but at Gavi's place.
After he dropped you off in front of the door you waited 10 minutes before you called Gavi and told him to pick you up.
You couldn't help but smile as soon as you saw his car drive up to you.
"Hola preciosa, que tal?" Gavi smiled as soon as you sat into the passengers seat.
"Soy bien, y tu?" You asked, you two got into a conversation quickly about how annoying Paulo is and how you should drop him.
You then told Gavi that you did plan to drop him and he said that he'd support your decision no matter what.
You two then went to his house and then sat down on the couch. "Oh by the way, I have to show you my room, I got a new bed." gavi turned his head towards you.
You grinned a bit and then nodded your head. "Show me then." You both made your way up the stairs and while you walked uo front of Gavi, he couldn't help but look at your ass, he didn't know what he felt but it was a weirdly sexual attraction towards you.
He didn't know where it came from either, but he had to do something about or against it.
As soon as you stepped foot into his room you smiled and sat down on the bed. "It's fancy isn't it?" Gavi asked as he looked at the black bed with white sheets.
"It's cool yeah, I like it." You whispered and watched as he sat down next to you. You two sat in a few seconds of silence.
"It concerns you, doesn't it? The whole thing with Paulo." Gavi finally spoke up and you turned your head to look at him and push his hair out of his face.
"It does, I just wanna be with someone who loves me and can handle me the right way. I hate to admit it, but I miss having fun while having sex." You groaned and Gavi nodded his head as he looked onto the floor. Then Gavi looked up at you again, and for a second you felt like you felt the connection between the two of you.
In the next seconds, Gavis lips were on yours and his hands were all over your body. Your hands were running through his hair while he pushed you down on the bed.
He then started tugging at your shirt and you pulled it off almost immediately, revealing your black bra. He looked down at your tits sitting perfectly in the black bra. The thought of him about to sleep with the girl he has known his entire life turned him on and you felt as he got even harder in his pants.
"Take off your clothes," Gavi commanded and you did as he said, you took off your pants too while Gavi stood back and took off his shirt and pants too.
You were left in your panties and bra as you were sitting up on his new bed. Gavi had his hand on his dick that was visibly hard in his boxers.
"Come here" You invited him and opened up your legs for him. You pulled his face closer to yours and began making out with him again, he put his body down on yours and his hands moved to your hips.
"We shouldn't-" You said in a whimper as Gavi started planting sloppy kisses along your neck.
"Then stop it" Gavi mumbled as he kept sucking on the slightly red spot on your neck.
"I can't" You whispered and
Your hand traveled down to his boxer shorts and he pulled away. "You really wanna have sex?" Gavi looked at you with a concerned look.
"Yes, please, I just need to feel you inside of me." You mumbled and Gavi nodded as he pulled down his boxershorts and you quickly pulled down your panties. You couldn't keep your eyes off of his dick, you had known him for so long and you never would have thought that he would end up naked in front of you.
"Lie back amor," Gavi said and you lied back down. He crawled over you and held himself up with his hands.
You looked down at his dick as he aligned himself with you. "look at me." He whispered and you did as he asked.
As soon as you two held eye contact he pushed himself into you and you immediately whimpered.
He was way bigger than Paulo and you weren't used to him yet. "Fuck you're so tight" Gavi groaned and you relaxed a bit so you wouldn't clench around him anymore.
As soon as you got adjusted to his size he asked for a confirming look and you just gave him a nod.
He then started pushing himself in and out of you at a rapid speed while you arched up against him.
He groaned and hid his face in the crook of your neck while he kept moving his hips. He felt you so tightly wrapped around his cock that he could have come any second.
He decided against it and that it was his goal to make you cum first.
"Do you like that? Wrapped around my cock like it's your hobby?" Gavi then whispered into your ear. "I can feel your walls clenching around me so tight."
Gavi's dirty talk only made the heat in your lower stomach grow and he noticed when your moans became louder.
"Come all around my cock, you nasty bitch. Taking it all at once like the good slut you are." It only took a few thrusts from there on.
"Gavi-" You moaned out loudly and came. He trusted inside of you two more times before he came inside of you.
"Joder you're so hot, my cum dripping out of your pussy." Gavi looked down at your pussy immediately after he pulled out and saw his cum dripping from your hole.
He took his two fingers and pushed it inside again, just to tease you, he decided to curl up his fingers inside of you.
You who was obviously still sensible from coming and your legs were shaking, you yelled his name.
"That's what I like." Gavi then laid down next to you in bed and looked at you. He pushed a strand of hair out of your face as you were staring up at the ceiling, coming down from your high.
"Are you okay?" Gavi asked and you shook your head.
"That was the best sex I have ever had." You mumbled and Gavi couldn't help but smile. He then leaned down to your boobs and left a few hickeys on them.
"Do you regret it?" Gavi looked at you again while he was still sucking on your boobs. You put your hand into his hair and messed it up a bit.
"No, I don't." You said in all honesty and he went back up to your face.
"How would you tell them that when you were supposed to visit your parents, not even two hours later you were laid out naked on my bed with my cum dripping out of your pussy?" Gavi asked and your stomach cramped at what he said.
He was turning you on so much, you've never seen this side of him before and you were loving it.
"I'll break up with him" You decided and he nodded his head. Then he leaned closer to you again and you two began making out.
After you pulled away to breathe since you were so out of breath Gavi's hand slipped down to your clit.
He started rubbing it and slowly he slipped two fingers inside of you, then he leaned in for a slow make out session.
As he was pumping his fingers in and out of you, you moaned into his mouth. That made you feel his erection against your hip and you then pulled away.
"Can we do another round?" You asked him and he smiled as he pulled out his fingers and pumped his hand up and down his dick a few times.
"Are you ready?" He looked up at you as he leaned over you and pushed his tip in.
"Yeah," You nodded and he pushed himself inside of you again. You whined a bit at his size, this time you didn't need that long to adjust so Gavi started thrusting in and out of you faster than he did before. He then moved down his hand to your clit and started rubbing it at a rapid speed.
"Fuck, Gavi" You held onto his back and your nails ran along his back. Gavi felt that they were gonna leave marks but it turned him on so much.
So after both of you finished, he suggested a shower together. You of course agreed but the shower started with Gavi fucking you against the shower wall.
Sometime later
Just as Gavi walked inside the locker room to get changed for the practice session, Pedri smiled at him.
"Hola Hermano, que tal?" He asked and took off his shirt, Gavi also took his shirt off.
"What the fuck is that?" Pedri asked just as Gavi turned his back towards him.
"What?" Gavi asked confused and it took him a few seconds to realize that there were still your nail scratches on his back.
He cursed himself mentally and turned around. "I fell while working out." He said in all seriousness and Pedri nodded his head with a huge smile.
"Sure Gavi" Pedri said, before he could have continued Fermin walked into the dressing room too.
"Hola chicos qué tal?" Fermin put down his bag next to Pedris and as he walked past Gavi he saw the red marks on his back.
"Damn, what did you do hermano?" Fermin immediately asked and Pedri gave Gavi a look.
"Gavi had a chick over" Pedri pushed back Gavi's shoulder slightly to which he only responded with a small smile.
"Damn, who?" Fermin pulled out his shorts and his shirt and also his shoes. Gavi shook his head and covered his face with his hands.
"I can't tell you" He mumbled and took the shirt to pull it over. Since it was a sleeveless shirt there were still some slightly visible marks on his shoulders.
"Mira, Mira." Pedri stood in front of him and put both of his hands on his shoulders. "Hermano, you tell me and Fermin who it is, and we will cover your lie that you fell while working out."
Pedris smile spread across his lips as he heard Gavi scoff. Fermin was just sitting on the bench, listening carefully.
Gavi did have to admit that that was a good deal.
"Joder" Gavi muttered under his breath and pushed back his hair. Meanwhile, Pedri leaned back a bit and crossed his arms.
"Just say it, except she's my cousin." Pedri laughed and looked at Fermin who stood up and also walked up to his two friends.
"I can't, You're gonna kill me." Gavi mumbled but Pedri gave him an angry look, then he inhaled sharply and looked the canarian in the eyes.
"It's Y/n" He mumbled and Pedri's and Fermin's jaw dropped. Both of their eyes widened and Fermin laughed out while he sat down again.
"You slept with Y/n?!" Pedri asked and his wide open mouth curved up into a smile.
He truly couldn't believe it, he expected him to sleep with some random chick, a one-night stand kinda type.
"You mean the Y/n, the girl whose parents are best friends with your parents?" Gavi nodded. "The girl who is your childhood best friend?" Gavi nodded. "The girl who's best friend with Aurora, your sister?" Gavi nodded, once again. "The girl whose dad is best friends with our coach?" Gavi nodded.
"The girl who has a boyfriend?" Gavi nodded one final time and Pedri shook his head.
"You have lost your whole mind." Pedri said and Fermin burst out laughing.
"You're crazy hermano, loco" Fermin poked Gavis head with his own finger.
"Is she at least good in bed?" Fermin pushed back Gavi's shoulder slightly and Gavis eyes widened at the question.
"Dude, she's my best friend!" Gavi said and Pedri shook his head while he smiled.
"Yeah and you fucked her, so is she good or nah?" Pedri pressured Gavi into telling him. Gavi wouldn't even have to think twice to answer that question.
"Why do you even ask that?" Gavi laughed out awkwardly, he wasted time in the hope that someone forgot something and come in to get it.
"So Fermin can know if his fantasies are true or not, now tell us." Pedri started getting impatient and put both of his hands on Gavi's shoulders. Fermin laughed out as Gavi looked to his left.
"Yeah, she's good." Gavi muttered and Pedri's lips curled up into a smile.
"Was she on top?" Pedri asked but Gavi shook his head. Fermin was honestly just standing next to them and listening to their conversation.
"No, what the hell, no she wasn't. I'm done with talking about how I slept with Y/n, get ready." Gavi ended the conversation and Pedri gave him a wink while turning around and putting on his shoes.
Gavi knew this practice session would be horror.
While Gavi was at practice, you were at home, hanging out on the couch. So without really anything to do, you were scrolling on TikTok.
I mean you were until the doors opened. Inside came the only other person who had access to your apartment, Paolo.
"Hola Amor." He smiled at you while he walked over to the couch and sat down next to you.
"Hey" He grabbed your jaw and turned your head to look at him, he was still very gentle with you. Then he leaned forward to kiss your lips but you pulled away.
"What's wrong?" He asked but you fake coughed. You scratched your neck and then stood up to go to the kitchen to grab a glass of water.
Just in that second, you received a text.
[GAVI:] Can you come over to my place tonight? Aurora will cover for you.
You smiled a little and texted back a simple okay.
"Ay Paolo" You walked back to the couch and then looked at him. "Me and Aurora want to have a sleepover, I'll stay at hers tonight. Just so you know, in case you planned to sleep here." You told him and almost walked away when he spoke up.
"Oh, that's okay, but you're staying at Aurora's house right?" He raised his eyebrows.
"Of course?!" You lied and smiled at him. Then you went to pack together the things you needed and then walked downstairs again.
"I'll see you, bye." You locked the door before he could have even responded and then basically sprinted to your car. You wanted to get some five guys before you went to Gavis.
Paolo usually didn't allow you to eat that kind of fast food since he said it's greasy, this was your chance.
After a successful stop at Five Guys you drove to Gavi's house. However, you decided to go to Aurora's house and leave the car there.
"Gavi?" you asked as he picked up the phone.
"Where are you dude, I'm bored." He groaned immediately and you jumped out of the car.
"Come and get me from Aurora's house, please. I left my car here for safety. " Gavi immediately stood up after he heard that and then you two hung up.
So you waited outside until you saw Gavi's car drive by. You sat inside and pulled him into a hug.
"Hey, how are you?" Gavi asked, admiring your eyes like always.
"Awesome, what about you? Did something interesting happen at practice?" You asked, genuinely interested in his answer. Gavi was afraid of that question, ever since he texted you, he was afraid that you'd ask.
"Pedri and Fermin know, they saw the marks on my back." He muttered while keeping his eyes straight on the road.
"Oh, okay." You answered in the most calmest tone ever, Gavi turned his head to look at you with a weird face.
"Okay? Aren't you scared that your boyfriend Paulo is gonna find out?" He raised his brows and then looked at you for a second after parting his eyes from the road.
"Well, I'll break up with him next week, since I'm gonna visit my grandparents in Seville on the weekend. He won't be there harass me there if he gets mad."
Gavi pulled into the driveway and you turned to look at him.
"Sounds good" He mumbled and you smiled. Then the two of you went inside and you decided to cook something.
"What do you wanna cook?" Gavi leaned onto the countertop, his biceps flexing as he held onto the edge of the counter.
"Let's make Paella or something" You suggested and he raised his brows.
"Paella? you wanna be here until tomorrow?"
"Please, your mom always made that amazing Paella. I miss it" You pleaded and eventually, he gave in.
"Fine, you're helping me clean up tho." His finger was pointed at you to which you just gave him a smile and a friendly nod.
After about 1 and a half hours you two were sitting at the dinner table, the two pans in front of you.
You were just finishing the rice and Gavi waited for you to finish. "You eat with so much appetite, it's amazing to watch." Gavi smiled and you couldn't help but smile too.
"What do you mean by that?" The question was asked by you shyly.
"The way you eat, I don't know how to explain it-" You scoffed at him and shook your head.
"Oh my god okay." A small snicker escaped your lips and you then finished your food.
"Okay, let's go clean up" Gavi jumped up and walked into the kitchen. It only took you two almost 3 hours to clean up.
Not only that but the most difficult thing was trying to clean while Gavi kept coming closer to you.
"You look so hot." He whispered against your neck as he leaned over you from behind.
You were just cleaning the countertop with a wet sponge and he was being horny, or rather weird.
"Gavi, later." You pushed him back with your shoulder and just smiled to yourself. Gavi walked around you and stopped right next to you.
"Later? You promise?" He lifted up his pinky finger.
"Promise" You interlocked it with his.
So that's how you ended up not even 20 minutes later on his bed, half-naked.
"Take off your thong, show me how wet you are." Gavi told you and your hands immediately traveled to your waist.
Your fingers hooked into the waistband and pulled it down. His face was right in front of your throbbing pussy.
"Gavi-" You moaned out after his lips attached to your core, sucking slightly on it. Then he stuck out his tongue. "Keep still for me Amor." He punned down your tighs onto the bed and then started to lick your whole core. Then he slowly moved his fingers to your pussy and without a warning, pushed them inside.
You arched your back up against his face as he was still buried inside your pussy.
"Yes Gavi, ah yes-" You moaned and he started pumping his fingers faster than before.
Your moans became louder and your breath quicker. "Yeah, right there." You moaned and just as he licked up at your juices you came. Not only did you come, but you also squirted all over his face and his back.
He was covered in your juices as your legs were still shaking like crazy.
"I need you inside of me, please." You whimpered as the cold air hit your pussy and Gavi just smiled slightly. Your juices were all over his face, chest, stomach, and arms. He looked so hot.
"You want me that bad?" He chuckled and you gave him a look. He just laughed a bit and then pulled down his boxershorts, his awfully hard dick hitting his abdomen as he did so.
He pumped his hand up and down his dick after he spit on it and then leaned closer to you. After he aligned himself with you, he made eye contact and then pushed himself inside.
In his opinion watching you throw your head back and close your eyes was the hottest thing ever.
"You're so big, fuck" you whispered almost as he pushed himself even further inside. His cock stretches you out completely.
He waited a few seconds and after your breath slowed down he pulled himself out so that only his tip was inside of you.
Then he slammed himself inside, hard, you moaned loudly as he immediately hit your G-spot. He definitely knew what he was doing.
"You're doing so good." The praising made you clench around him, he then pushed down onto your lower stomach and you whimpered.
Then he moved his hand down to your clit and started rubbing it while he thrusted in and out of you at an even faster pace.
The hot knot in your stomach began to build up and your legs were shaking already. However, he kept going, and as his thrusts began to fall out of rhythm you realized that he was close.
"You look so beautiful right now." Gavi managed to make eye contact with you, since you were always closing your eyes shut it was a bit difficult.
Then his thrusts became sloppy and you felt as if he slowed down. Seconds later he came inside of you, you felt his cum filling you up as you waited for him to regain his strength. His groans were turning you on so much that you clenched around him
"Wait, I'll finish you off in a second." Gavi muttered and you nodded your head.
After a few seconds, Gavi stood upright again and began thrusting into you at a very fast pace.
His balls were hitting you as he slammed in and out of your pussy. His thumb rubbed your clit as you felt your orgasm approach.
You arched your back up against him and it took one final thrust for you to finish. Your legs began shaking like crazy and you whimpered as he pulled out of you.
He then pushed his cum back inside of you and pumped his hand up and down his dick while he looked at your wet pussy.
"You want me to finish you?" You asked and Gavi nodded his head but kept pumping his hand up and down.
He then crawled over to you and you turned to the side. You at first put your head on his tip, spreading your juices over it as you then slid your hand down further and put the tip into your mouth.
Gavi looked down at you as he held the back of your head, he was holding back your hair in a makeshift ponytail as you began to swirl your tongue around his tip.
He immediately began to push you down a bit further on his cock.
As his tip hit the back of your throat you coughed and he immediately let go of you. You pulled away and looked up at him with tears in your eyes while your tongue swirled around his tip again while both of your hands were pumping his dick.
You then eventually felt his dick twitch and took as much as you could of him into your mouth. The warm liquid hitting the back of your throat as Gavi groaned while he looked down at you.
After you swallowed everything he leaned down and cleaned the edges of your lips. "Open up" He mumbled and you opened your mouth. He stuck his finger inside and you sucked off the remaining cum.
"Good job" He then leaned down and kissed you again. You pulled him into a much deeper kiss and eventually, you pulled away.
"Do you want to take a shower?" Gavi suggested and you nodded your head.
"Gladly" He winked at you after you said that and then he slid his arms under your body to carry you to the bathroom.
So after you two were done showering he gave you one of his boxer shorts and an oversized shirt too.
"Thank you" You mumbled and he nodded his head as he flashed a smile.
After that, you quickly fell asleep as you were cuddled up in his arms.
24 hours later
You were now lying on your bed, wearing some shorts and an oversized white shirt. You were waiting for Paulo, he got off of work about 20 minutes ago. So as you predicted he walked into the room a few minutes later.
"Hey" you smiled and he flashed you a smile as he immediately started to get changed.
"Hello Love, how was the sleepover with Aurora?" Paulo asked as he then took off all his clothes and got into bed.
"It was amazing, thank you for asking." You smiled and he turned off the lights as he got into bed.
"No worries, by the way, when are you leaving for Sevilla?" He turned to face you in the dark.
"Friday evening" You answered as shortly as possible. You planned on telling him on Friday that you wanted to break up, but not that you were hooking up with Gavi.
He didn't need to know that.
"Ah okay, good night." He snuggled closer to you and sooner than you knew, his arms were wrapped around your body.
You tried to maintain some space between the two of you, even as his hands slid below your shorts and gave your ass a light squeeze.
Just a few seconds later, he froze. Then as fast as possible he turned to his nightstand and turned on the flashlight. He showed it as he pulled down your shorts and as you lifted up the blanket you saw that you were still wearing Gavi's boxershorts.
"What the fuck" Paulo turned to face you and immediately you thought of the only really logical thing to say in this situation.
"They're yours, what do you mean?" You raised your head, knowing damn well that you were lying.
"I'm gonna beat up whoever those are. Don't fucking lie to me, who did you cheat with?" Paulo looked at you, he had an angry expression on his face. His brows furrowed and his eyes dark.
"What are you talking about?" You acted confused, you obviously didn't want him to find out that you cheated on him with Gavi.
"Where did you stay yesterday?" He asked again, you flinched a bit as he came closer to you.
"At Aurora's?" You mumbled and Paulos expression suddenly changed. It was like something inside of his head clicked.
"I'm gonna kill that motherfucker." He whispered under his breath and then stormed out of the room.
You sat up confused but then called Gavi immediately just to make sure. "Gavi" He picked up immediately.
"Yes Princesa, are you feeling lonely tonight?" The smile on Gavis face could be noticed by the way he was talking.
"No, no, Paulo is on his way to your house I think, he found out that I'm cheating." You said at the fastest pace ever. You haven't been anxious for a very long but this time you were genuinely scared for him.
"Are you okay and healthy tho?" You couldn't help but smile at how much he cared for you.
"Yeah yeah I'm fine. Just act like you aren't home. Turn off the lights, close all the windows, and don't make any noise, also hide from the windows." You explained carefully to him.
"Or I'll just beat him up-"
"Gavi." You said in a harsh tone.
"Okay, your plan sounds better." You couldn't help but feel anxious after you heard the car drive away.
"I'll pack my things and go back to my apartment. Just be careful, please. Don't make any trouble." Gavi smiled a little while he walked around the house to turn off all the lights.
"Yeah, but it's sweet that you care for me Princesa" You rolled your eyes and also stood up to get dressed.
"You just shut up and do your job." You then pulled the phone away from your ear and hung up the phone.
Gavi grinned while he slid his phone back into his pocket and turned off the final light in the living room, then he walked over to the door and locked it.
He has that bad habit of forgetting to lock his door, that's why he has an automatic lock. But it only locks the door 10 minutes after it got closed and he came back 7 minutes ago. Pedri and him were driving around with his car to just hang out a bit and talk.
You on the other hand were already leaving the house and walking towards your car.
Just as Gavi wanted to text you to drive save, he heard a car pull up to his driveway.
He quickly walked to the staircase and sat down on it, it was out of sight of the windows, that's why he chose them.
So just a couple of seconds later he heard someone banging on his front door. "Gavi man, I know what you did with my girlfriend." Paulo yelled. Gavi sighed and rolled his eyes.
No matter how many times you told him that you're in love with Paulo, he always got annoyed.
Because to Gavi, Paulo was an absolute joke. He didn't have any idea of what he was doing and most importantly, he probably didn't have a brain.
"Gavi, you mother fucker, get out here!" Paulo kept yelling. Gavi snickered.
"You calling your girlfriend mother now?" He whispered quietly to himself and covered his mouth with his hand.
After about 5 minutes of waiting Paulo drove away with his car again.
So as you made your way towards your apartment again, you had an incoming call.
"Y/n," Paulos voice drung through the speajers of your car as you just made the turn to your apartment complex.
"Hm?" You hummed and then parked the car.
"Where are you?" He had calmed down now, his voice didn't seem so aggressive as it was before.
"I'm at my apartment." You mumbled. The car engine turned off after you turned the keys and you leaned back in your seat, waiting for him to speak.
"Can I come over?"
"Look, its probably better if we dont see eachother for a while." You tried to make it sound as nice as possible. There was a few seconds of silence before Paulo spoke again.
"So we're breaking up?" His voice was shaking. Even tho you cheated on him, he wasn't mad at you, the only one he was mad at was Gavi. Because if Gavi wouldn't have come across your relationship, you two would've still been happy.
"Yep" You answered, Paulos expression dropped and it went from confused to sad.
This was the first time he was glad you couldn't see him.
"Okay" He answered and then hung uo the phone.
You on the other hand were still sat in your car, zoned out. You haven't felt save in that relationship since about 2 months, so you were happy that it was over. On the other hand you didn't know what to do now.
So you did the best possible thing that came to mind.
A few minutes of driving later, you were standing in front of Gavi's door. You rung the bell and heard him skipping down the stairs.
"Hey" His messy brown hair was hanging into his face as he opened the door. No matter how bad in a mood you were in earlier, you definitely felt better now.
"Hello" You smiled at him and walked closer. The door got closed shut by Gavi and seconds later you wrapped your arms around his neck.
"I wanna be with you." As soon as you said that Gavi pulled away to look at you. "I wanna be together with you."
"Are you for real?" He asked to which you responded immediately with a nod.
"I didn't want anything more than to be with you." You repeated and he smiled.
"I want to be with you too." Gavi smiled and leaned closer to kiss you. But before he could put his lips on yours, you whispered something.
"I love you."
He crashed his lips into yours, he pulled your body closer to his and he gripped you even tighter.
A sudden stroke of adrenaline hit him and it felt like the only thing in this universe were you and him.
Then Gavi broke the kiss for a second as you two held eye contact. He pushed your hair behind your ear and cupped your face. "I love you too."

Level 8000 (Gavi x Reader)
28 day writing prompt challenge - prompts are here
Day 6: Meeting for the first time
"Alright I'm going to get onto an online server. No one try to reach me for the next several hours."
Your roommates laughed at the warning as you slipped your headset on. You adjusted the ears, bringing the mic over your mouth, and settled back into the couch. Your hoodie and sweats swamped your form, providing maximum comfort for your gaming session. Were you a fantastic gamer? No. But had you fixated on two or three games for long enough to get good at specifically those games? Yes, yes you did. One of those games was FIFA. You had played all the events throughout the World Cup, in between the early morning matches, and late at night when your 7pm Redbull kept you up until the early hours.
This binge playing over your winter break, as well as the game events, lead to you having a crazy stacked team. You had a super high Neymar as your front man, meaning that as long as you got the ball in the last 1/3 of the field, you were almost guaranteed to score. When all your real life friends had grown tired of you winning 7-0, you turned to PS online. People on the internet were ruthless. You played against stacked teams, losing your first dozen matches. But as you practiced and upgraded your players (as well as googling some good team formations), you started to win. Your win-loss ratio improved immensely with the addition of one piece of equipment: headphones with a mic. You started to join the voice chat, and the sound of a woman sent these poor gamer boys into a frenzy, allowing you to score two goals before they could recover.
Now it was your escape. You loved the power of overwhelming men just by saying "good luck", and the profanities that followed when you won. Tonight was no different. You had already beaten four different whiny men, and had tied a game with another girl on the voice chat, who practically squealed with delight when she heard the sound of your voice. Now it was time for match number 6 of the night, and you were sufficiently warmed up, ready to destroy.
[Opponent] - 6avira30
You smiled, thinking to yourself 'Awe, a Gavi fanboy. I wonder if he has him in midfield." The audio connected, and you heard a couple different male voices yell at each other in Spanish.
"Hello?" You said softly into the mic. Couldn't have them think you were anything other than a soft uwu girl using her boyfriend's account. The voices stopped suddenly, with a long pause before the reply: "Are you a girl?" You laughed at the question. It was not the first time you had gotten it, but the utter confusion in the boy's voice caught you off guard. "Yeah, I am. Hurry up and lock in your team so we can start the match." "Ay, be patient. My great strategic mind needs time to work."
You groaned into the mic. These "strategists" often were the most annoying people to play with, and often the one calling you a cheater or a bot or saying that your "man" was playing while you were on the mic. You locked in the same team you always used, and waited for the great mastermind to lock in his squad. The match began a minute later, and you were not surprised to see it was mostly Barca players, old and new.
"Wow a Xavi-Iniesta midfield. It's been a minute since I've seen that." You said, trying to get the ball across the center line.
"They're the best duo in the world. Everyone should have them in the middle." The boy replied, harshly attacking all your midfielders. It had been a while since you encountered someone who played this aggressively, but it was interesting enough to get you to sit up straight.
"Really? Given your tag, I thought you would have Pedri and Gavi in the middle."
The boy got quiet at this, the statement clearly catching him off guard. It was the lapse in focus that you needed, getting the ball to your super-charged Neymar, and slamming a goal in from outside the box.
"What the actual fuck was that?" A yell came in from the other side. You laughed freely now. This was a fun match. You were being challenged in the middle of the field, really having your defense tested. The boy kept you entertained online, asking all the typical questions about how you got so good. The match ended 3-1 to you, and you were about to say goodbye when a notification popped up on your screen.
[6avira30] - Rematch Requested
"You want to play against me again? One loss wasn't enough?"
"I'm not going to lose again. I just have to recalibrate the squad."
You continued playing against the same opponent for 7 or 8 matches in a row, the conversation moving from the game to your lives.
"So you've never been to a football match in person? How is that possible? You live in Barcelona!"
"I'm a university student who is struggling to pay my rent. I don't have the time or money to buy tickets. Well, at least the tickets that I want."
"Well, what tickets do you want?"
"I want the ones that are right up on the field, so at the end of the game I can ask Lewy for his shirt at the end?"
"Lewandowski? Not one of the younger players?"
"Nah, everyone is always yelling for Gavi's shirt. And while it would be nice to see Gavi or Pedri shirtless, I feel like if I was ever lucky enough to get one of their shirts, my life would be in danger. So I would rather get a shift from DILF Lewy."
A loud laugh came in through your headphones. The boy yelled at his friend in the room, "She just called Robert a DILF."
At the end of the match (a 2-1 win for you), it was time to log off. You informed your online partner, bidding him a good night.
"Wait wait, before you get off, could you send your number in the chat? It's fine if not but I'd really like to talk to you again."
"My number? Why not just my Instagram?"
"I... Can't really follow you on Instagram. It's kind of complicated."
You sent him your number and logged off, going to bed with a stupid smile on your face. A boy had asked for your number. Could he be a weirdo in his mom's basement? Absolutely. But you could find that out later.
You woke up to a text that read: Hope you slept well - Lindo from PS Live. The stupid smile stuck to your face all day. For the next two weeks, you texted this boy almost every waking moment. You could not get enough of him, despite the fact that you couldn't get him to tell you his name.
[PS Live Boy]: Want to have coffee with me tomorrow?
The text set the butterflies in your stomach free, the fluttering feeling spreading to every cell in your body. You has said yes embarrassingly fast. He texted you the location: a pretty upscale coffee shop in the shopping district. Like 17 euro black coffee upscale. You now jumped up and down like a giddy school girl - PS Live boy had money.
You walked into the place, the hostess looking over your skirt and sweater with a sickly sweet smile, asking who you were supposed to be there with. PS Live boy had left the table under your name as to maintain his shroud of mystery. You sat at the table, reapplying your lip gloss and checking your hair in the camera of your phone.
[PS Live boy]: you can't freak out when you see me
[PS Live boy]: Because then I would have to leave and block your number
[PS Live boy]: and file a restraining order. and i dont want to do that
You let out a nervous breath, smiling at your screen. Usually when men said not to freak out, it was because they were ugly. The hostess that didn’t like you walked over to the table again, closely followed by someone in a hoodie, hood pulled up to cover their face. She pulled out a chair, and your PS Live boy sat in front of you. He thanked the hostess, before turning back you you and pulling his hood off.
“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.”
Gavi looked at you with a cheeky smile playing on his lips. You were overwhelmed. Pablo mf Gavi had met you on PS live and liked you, asked for you number, and was now here on a date with you.
“Three weeks of being mysterious was worth the look on your face.”
“As Spain’s youngest player on the national team, how are you so shit at FIFA?”
“Okay okay okay, let’s go back to you being surprised and not talk about me getting my ass kicked 8 times in a row. Pedri still makes fun of me?”
“Dang Pedri was there? I should’ve asked for his number instead.”
“You have me leveled up to like 8000 in FIFA. I know you want to be here with me.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: this was supposed to be done last night but I fell asleep lol. I love the idea of Gavi being kinda cheeky and self confident. Most talented young boys are (because society inflates their egos). Anyways, see y’all later tonight w day 7!!

Aitana Bonmatí, one step away from the Golden Ball: "I suffer because I always want more".
In her book United We Are Stronger (2022) she says that as a child she was "cold and hard". Why does she say that? She answers in the photos, sitting on the visitors' bench at the Johan Cruyff stadium: "My childhood was not easy because I was the only girl in a man's world, and the fights, the insults I received, I think I kept them to myself, I was not able to get them out and I simply put on a shield.”
“Sometimes you would end up in fisticuffs.”
“Sometimes, it wasn't the usual. The usual were the insults.”
“They got you fried.”
“Quite a lot.”
Andrés Iniesta writes by message: "I am proud that Guardiola compares me with the best player in the world today". The prodigy says of Bonmatí: "What I would highlight most is her evolution: she has gone from being a good team player to having an increasingly important role to the point of currently leading the national team and Barça along with Alexia Putellas and other great players". He emphasizes her technical quality, her speed, her skill, her goal sense and "her great winning mentality".
Her former coach emphasizes one word: ambition. Aitana Bonmatí's ambition.
“What is ambition?”
“Wanting to be the best in everything, having the desire to improve every day and to reach the top in all areas," the player answers.
“Where does that come from?”
“From me.”
“But where does it come from?”
“I've never asked myself that question. I've always been very competitive, very ambitious, a winner, haven't I? Since I was a little girl. I don't know, I would say that it doesn’t come from my family, they have many virtues, but they are not competitive and even less so in sports.”
“I don't allow myself to fail.” Too self-demanding?
“Yes, but over the years I have learned not to be so hard, to understand that one is not perfect and that mistakes sometimes make you improve.”
Bonmatí this year has won the World Cup, the Champions League, the League and the Super Cup, and has been MVP of the World Cup, MVP of the Champions League, MVP of the Super Cup final and best player of the year for UEFA. She should be satisfied, at the very least. "I don't know, she's insatiable," responds Cristian Martín along with Ignasi Cardó, her representatives.
Bonmatí knows about the double-edged sword of perfectionism. She deals with it with her club psychologists and in private therapy. "I'm rarely happy with my games because I always want more, but I'm managing it better and better. I still suffer, but not as much as before. I allow myself to be a person and I allow myself to fail."
In the last World Cup, after winning the match that gave them the pass to the final, she spoke with Mayca Jiménez, a journalist from Relevo. There were a few days left before the final and Jiménez asked her if they would celebrate that night. "No celebration", was the answer, followed by the need to sleep eight hours and other comments about essential guidelines that should not be skipped, not even that night. Jiménez underlines her courage in standing up for herself. When Japan beat them in the group stage of the World Cup, Bonmatí spoke to all the media, Spaniards and foreigners, in good English. She pledged that they would learn from the defeat. She said: "I ask for forgiveness.”
"Ambition is wanting to be the best," says Bonmatí.
She says she has seen women's football grow a lot, but points out that it still has a long way to go. "This is the beginning," she says. On what is lacking in women's football, she prefers not to say just one thing out of the many she would have to say. Although she mentions the obvious "precariousness" of some fields in Liga F.
She reflects on language. Should we continue to say women's football? She thinks not and proposes: "Either specify masculine or feminine whenever football is said, or not specify and that according to the context it is understood". She praises Barça's vision in betting on non-hegemonic sports sections and declares herself a "convinced Culé", although she had an offer from Olympique Lyon in 2021 that gave her pause for thought. "Important decisions should not be taken from one day to the next. I like to evaluate all the options," she explains. In December 2021, she renewed her contract until 2025.
She has recovered a bit of her tone. When asked what she thinks of the cliché that a footballer should not talk about politics, she replies that freedom of expression is the same for those who work in a company, in a hospital or in a football team. That said, today is not the day she feels like exercising it. It's over. Aitana Bonmatí needs to go and rest.
Note: Aitana has played 140 consecutive games for club and country. The grind hasn’t stopped for a second.
But also,
Please let my girl rest. She’s done so well.
(Excerpts of the interview she’s done with El País Semanal.)

Barça fans, do you recognise this place?
This is a photo of what la Masia (Barça's youth academy) looked like in 1925. (Photo colorized by Catalunya Color).
Back then, it was literally just a masia. "La masia" simply means "the farmhouse" in Catalan. This particular masia is called Masia de Can Planes. It dates back to, at least, the year 1515, where a written document talks about the farm and its surrounding fields belonging to a man called Jaume Planes. It was owned by his descendants, who rebuilt and adapted parts of the building in different time periods, until the year 1950.
In 1950, Barça bought it from the last heir, Francesc Planes i Buera. They built Camp Nou (Barça's stadium) in the fields owned by this farm.
When Camp Nou was being built, the farmhouse was used as the meeting place for architects and where they made and kept the stadium's plans and models. After the stadium was inaugurated, the farmhouse became Barça's office building.
La Masia de Can Planes nowadays, with Camp Nou stadium behind it.
In 1978, the club decided to turn the farmhouse into the residence for Barça's youth academy, which became one of the most successful football youth academies in the world. It's renowned for its respect for students and their academic focus as well as the sports side of it. That's when Barça's youth academy became known as La Masia.
Many of La Masia's students have gone on to brilliant football careers, including Pep Guardiola, Leo Messi, Xavi Hernández, Andrés Iniesta, Carles Puyol, Carles Busquets, Cesc Fàbregas, and Gerard Piqué, among others.
In 2011, Barça decided to upgrade their youth academy to be able to have more students. They built a new building as their residence in Sant Joan Despí (a city right next to Barcelona), in the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper (Joan Gamper sports complex). This new building has the capacity to be home for 85 sportspeople, compared to the 60 that could be housed before (12 in the farmhouse and 48 in the equipped spaces in the North Goal of the Camp Nou).
It's next to the rest of sports facilities in the Joan Gamper sports complex, which includes 5 natural grass football pitches; 4 fieldturf pitches; 3 sports pavilions for basketball, handball and futsal, training areas for goalkeepers and specific techniques, gymnasiums, first aid areas, press conference rooms, service buildings, a pool, and saunas used for recuperating from injuries.
The modern "La Masia" building in Sant Joan Despí.
Even though they moved to a new building that isn't a masia (farmhouse) anymore, everyone has always called Barça's youth academy "La Masia", so they still call it that.

https://www.tumblr.com/donfermin/752557265473716224/you-have-to-accept-that-pedri-is-not-as-good-as
this is what i hate about modern football, people give g/a too much stock. a midfielder, especially one of pedri’s profile, shouldn’t be judged for not scoring 10+ goals a season. there’s more to what makes a good player than just their goalscoring ability, and people seem to forget that. bellingham didn’t even play as a true midfielder this season, he’s been playing as an attacking midfielder/false 9/second striker. xavi only scored more than 10+ goals in a season once in his entire career and iniesta has never scored more than 10+ goals in a season, does that undermine their legacy and careers because they weren’t goalscorers? no, because there is more to being a great player than scoring a bunch of goals.
Honestly I think the problem lies on the fact that most people watch football because they want to brag, not because they actually enjoy watching the game. They choose someone who is put in a position to score many goals or do a lot of assists, without taking into account the rest of the team that actually makes those goals and assists possible, and put them on a pedestal.
At the end of the day, as a player all you need is 10% talent and 90% good PR. You can be the best player in the world, you can even make the ball magically disappear in front of everyone, but you will never beat PR. And that's because the average football fan doesn't want to put the effort of even thinking, let alone analyse or study the game. That's also why most of the awards go to strikers/attacking midfielders, when defenders are just as important. People like flashy players, they imitate their silly celebrations and that's it, if they suck for the other 89 minutes who cares.
I'm not an expert and I don't consider myself a guru of football, tactics and positioning make my head hurt, but when I see players like Pedri I get excited. The way they actually create the game and don't just wait for the ball to appear in front of their feet so they can score. The ones that don't have to rely on statistics to be considered good, those are the players I like and that should be celebrated. Not someone who scores many goals because has great players in his team creating those chances for him and takes all the merit.
#sorry for the rant 😬#also before some silly people come at me for what I said#this is not directed to a single player#*politics and other stuff

something about Spain NT (2008 - 2012). red and gold. 2010s hair cuts. the most eerie mix of jocks, lover boys and noodle nerds mastering their positions. internal drama. Torres goal against Germany setting off everything. enemies to allies to friends to winners. long haired lesbian Sergio Ramos, David Villa making the girls swoon. paninis. camera filming close ups of the team standing still during anthems and lowering down 10 centimeters when it got to Xavi. relentless obsession. silver and blue confettis in 2008. uneasy RMA v Barça truce in the quest of completion. Waka Waka, total football, endless possession phases. dark blue kits. Iniesta’s last minute winner, Dani Jarque siempre con nosotros. Busquets and Casillas kneeling in front of each other, wordless, crying in disbelief. the weight of the world suddenly being lifted off of you — your world ending in a gold zenith. a country exploding of joy at the same minute, streets like living lungs all night long. congratulations from Spanish speaking countries from Europe to Lat America. Casillas, gold medal on his neck, voice wavering, kissing his girlfriend in the middle of the interview. plane pictures. Mourinho making up speeches to rile up the RMA players against their international Barça teammates to break the 2010 World Cup comradry. penalties against Portugal in 2012, Alves’ miss. first country to win a Euro back to back. pictures. euphoria. downfall. La Roja.

https://www.tumblr.com/ikram1909/759370898539151360/i-never-understood-and-will-never-understand-how?source=share people have taken it for granted that two boys of that age can enter the first team and not be bothered by the pressure and shine despite everything. they are the exception, like lamine or cubarsi, but they don't deserve to be the face and the responsibility of an entire team. It's like Iniesta said, a lot is asked of them for the club and for the national team. and we see how bad things go when those expectations aren't met. just look at b*llingham. people expected madness from him in the euros. in some way, they expected him to lead england to the final and score goals in every game and carry the team on his shoulders, but that didn't happen, and now people who loved him two months ago are saying shit about him.
Yeah it's becoming normalised to demand too much of these kids and it's really sad. Hating on them for simply not living up to their extreme expectations is crazy

PART 2
The Nordmark pod interview translated SWE-ENG
I have left out Per Nordmarks moments of reminiscence..
Please excuse things lost in translation and lack of knowledge in the English language 🙈
I also want to say that translation from spoken words to written can be quite challenging at times..
Enjoy fellow Ghostie's 👻🖤🇸🇪
T: -For my part it's very important. It was this, that was so fucking hard on that tour, i didn't get to have my days off. Days off,, you don't need them because you don't want to play, but to break the repetetiveness. On the level we are, in my regim and the way i want to do it i really feel we should do that. Mainly because we aren't 19 anymore. We are, we must keep up, we have to stay in shape to make it work. So when on the road there isn't much party and no more than to see to you're in shape and been sleeping enough. Stuff like that. A really good way to get out of shape is to get wasted drinking. It really makes you feel like shit.. It's fucking awesome a couple of days and the it's -Oh Fuck! But instead it can be really good to, it's gold when you have TWO days off, Then we always do it like this, the few times we have two days off. It doesn't happen often but when it does we always have a tour crew party. The first day so everyone get a day off after. It's very important.
……
…
T :No people tend to think it's like travelling. Like a vacation. And it isn't', It really isn't, and i believe, when you're not in a touring band or a professional like that. I think you have a vision that being a professional musician and touring a lot ,is like, creative,, -And it isn't. It's kind of repetitive. There are creative periods..-And of course you can have creative moments when ever. And I, I come up with ideas all the time, building for the next step or figure out something new. But the "work" in itself is repetetive.
….
N: Its not like, write a bunch of new songs on tour.
T: I can't do it like an obligation.
…
T: I think one may do yourself a disservice.. Have you ever brought a book to read on tour and ended up not reading it? It's classical and i've done it so many times, and eventually figured out, -I won't do that. I pack lighter and simplify things. And in that same fashion i plan my days now. It's based on me,, all the time, is here to work. The, my days off now.. One thing i do, and i like really much, when i have free time, and come to cities i've been to for several times, and especially when you have mate there, then the best thing is to visit them in their home. Or, just hanging out with someone "sightseeing" with someone who knows the town. Or, have a friend flown in and make a "tourist thing" together, a side step.
Because then you'll Moon walk in the the next day and -Fuck Yeah! Let's do this!!
…
…..
One thing! I give can you a tip. Now, someone who do professional soccer or Soccer in general. Correct me if i'm wrong. But, one thing i always do, especially if i feel a bit down in the dumps for some reason. It's like, in the dressing room i put You Tube on. And put on a video with something you're sure of made you want do to what you do. You know..Like: " Let's spend the night together".. Queen live, you know, Wembley -85/-86. Like that! Something that makes you OUUHAHH !!! Then i remember my dream and how far i am. And i've thought of this when it comes to soccer or hockey, or whatever. Like -"Do you ever play a compilation of"… Well, kids of today what do they like, closest to it gotta be "Zlatan".. Because, our generation it would be "Maradona" or.. "Don't you play a compilation of his greatest goals"? -No, never.. -"Why not!! It's ga ga ga, It's that, that is the dream. Damit! Like "Iniesta" scoring the last goal, last second, and wins the whole thing. That's the whole idea with this. I believe! ( "who never played soccer").. Or Freddie Mercury Wembley -85 or -86 It's the whole idea with why i want do this. So you have to remind yourself of the of the dream.. -Then i'm back on track.
…..
..
N: Did you ever doubt if you ended up in the right place?
T: Eh, ahh,, In connection to being part of "Crash Diet" (or the Crash Diet that we were part of, that was something different than it became later) my world opened up. I grew up with, with very melodic music like . Ehh, i went, it was a mix and came from a mixed, but everything have always came out of rock. But A lot of Pop radio and all that it was in the eighties, and like, the legacy of the seventies eem, Then it was my brothers music. He listened to everything from Hard Rock, Ee. to punk and synth, and a lot of stuff. And then there was my moms sixties influence. So when i had been digging around in death metal and black metal in almost ten years,, -Yes when i was 22 i'd been doing death metal since i was 12. So for ten years nurturing a dream. If I'll be completely honest with my dream for Repugnant it was to,, It was "old school death", but i thought i somewhere, it would be possible to make it a "thing" or something. I thought, if [Tobias mentions a couple of band names, can't hear what i says] can do it. Or Pestilence or the fuck, others. I thougt we'd be signed with Road Runner going on tour supporting Slayer. Like, i wanted to become a real band. There were so many bands before us that had made it.. And i couldn't understand why we were ..But we was so extremely out of date, we didn't work in the era we where in, in the end of the nineties. So, in the beginning of the twenties, i was about 20 then, it started to show up a lot of "rock stuff" Both in Sweden, it was sort of rock, its hard, to without sounding harsh but i don't mean anything by it, but like action rock, easy rock and all that. In 2000-02 And there was the strikes and Frans Ferdinand and all that happened. So i went like, -The fuck, wait! Like i also want to play melodic music too. Because i have it im me. Eh mm.. And it was like tricky in the beginning. I met David Hellman, or Dave Leppard. Ehm..and he also wanted to play rock eeh.. and then it showed he wanted to do sleezy rock, While i was more like…My sleeze taste, i definitely don't mind the seventies glam rock, and i like Guns 'n' roses, but, but Aeeh, and Skidrow will do, But then There are a lot of stuff definitely! don't like. And he really wanted to go all in on Poison, Some of Stryper and a lot of other stuff and shit that i absolutely didn't like. So i felt in someway that i can't do this. This is not. And on top of that, it was his band and i .. Nope, fuck it!.And then i strarted a pretty long experimental phase of not really finding my way home..

N: Asking about Onkel Konkel..
T : No, it was only three gigs
N: How did that happen?
T: Thomas the drummer from Repugnant, and at the time also Crash Diet and Subvision. Thomas was one of my best buddies and we played in several bands together. I remember it something like this -Thomas, you right me if i'm wrong. Because i might be. But i recall it something like this. Bengtsson, all ours Bengtsson from Cafe 44, came up to him like -"Du you want to play in Onkel Konkel". And he told me this story. And i , what the hell .. I also want in. So, well, Thomas told them i said that -"So you can come to the next rehearsal" And they probably just done one before. And then Bengtsson had put together a band for Håkan. Who then would act in these three gigs that were booked
N: And that was the only gigs..?
T: Yes, the only gig before that was in Hultsfred -93
N: Was there a gig before "Sondtrack of our lives".. bc one of the gigs were on " Nalen"
T: Yes, its very possible Soundtrack played the day before or after..
N: I've heard somewere you're in to horror movies. Old horror movies.?
T: Yes, Yeah
N:,Have you been inspired by film music aswell?
T: Very much, absolutely. And, well i don't know how to elaborate that, umm, To me, besides me liking, i'm interested in cinematic in general. But i got stuck early, for different reasons, for different horror movies. Once again I'll have to explain it by me having a pretty liberal upbringing. A very liberal home where there weren't any actual rules, more like guide lines. But you know it was the eighties,, And it worked with just a note from my mom to show at the video store. And then i could rent anything i wanted.
…..
…. ….
T: I'm VERY afraid of the dark. Regretfully i am, and i was so early on.
….
… ..
T: But if one should try looking at it with a " the glass is half full"l perspective. It's probably all about having a vivid imagination. And the critical thought in it all would be one watching to much and that it started it all, but I'm not sure .. There were a heck of a lot of delusions long before horror movies was a thing. Like, read "All the creatures of the woods" That people have made up totally uninfluenced by horror movies. So i believe one have a relatively elastic mind. And just aswell as one can come up with a funny joke or something, one also have the possibility to go down the dark corridor, make it something creepy.
Even if realistically i understand it probably isn't something out there, in the woods…

Pedri via Residency - March 20, 2024
In his spare time he likes to be at home watching a series, playing Playstation or board games with his family
He wants to return as soon as possible but there is no specific return date or game. He wants to get back to 100% and enjoy the most important of the season with his teammates
If he would have to play in a different position he would choose goalkeeping because that's the position his dad played in
Will you watch the game against PSG? - "Como mínimo, eso..." (at the very least that)
He can't speak English very well but it's one of his personal goals to get better
He would like to be back for the Euros, the rest of La Liga and the UCL
He's not bad at goalkeeping but his height doesn't work in his favour
It was a shame that he couldn't play against Las Palmas because he was very excited to play against them and now, this season, he won't. But they've had a great season and he will have the opportunity to do so next season
Do you think you will score a goal in the UCL? - "I will 🤞"
He's better now, apart from recovery and gym work he takes maximum care of his diet and continues to do pilates and hyperbaric chambers
Most trips he has taken have been for games, but he doesn't think there is a better place than the Canary Islands (he's open for recommendations)
He often tries to learn a couple of German words from one of his friends
UCL with Barça or EUROs with Spain? - "Both"
Role Model? - "Iniesta"
He started playing football at 3 years old
He is not a coffee drinker
GOAT? - "Tú quién crees? Obviamente, Messi" (Who do you think? Obviously Messi)
He doesn't know any French
He would recommend visiting his hometown Tegueste in Tenerife
Favourite F1 driver? - Verstappen and Alonso (side eye from admin)
Lamine Yamal? - "Top player and humble kid!"

I keep watching old Barca matches and was doing the same just now. But I just had a disgusting realization. Half of that Barca team is retired. Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Eto'o, Henry, Ronaldinho, and even the bitchboy Pique is gone. And one day, Leo is gonna retire too. He's not gonna play football anymore. There will be a last match, a last goal, a last assist, and a last celebration...
AND I'M NOT READY!!! SO SOMEONE DO SOME VOODOO AND DE-AGE HIM BACK TO 25 BECAUSE IF HE LEAVES, I'M GONNA SHATTER INTO PIECES-
#please don't leave me lionel#i cannot function without seeing you play at least twice a week#someone turn back the clock#lionel messi

uhm so gavi his agent has met a few times with chelsea so that means a move to chelsea this season is likely since he isn't happy with Barça at all. and i get why cause since messi has came back into the picture they're kind of neglecting him?
Hello anon!! Firstly, I want to apologize in advance if I come across as condescending because that’s not my intention at all.
There is only one reporter who put out that Gavi was unhappy and moving to Chelsea. All the articles are based off of that one report, and many other Spain-based sports journalists are saying this ain’t true, which makes a lot of sense.
Gavi is a La Masía kid who has been starting for the first team all season and has been performing very well. To break his contract (originally until 2026), the club set the price at a billion Euros!! They also fought like hell to have his contract go through, so him being “unhappy” at Barça doesn’t make much sense from a logic standpoint. They were chanting his name in today’s game. So I think it’s highly inaccurate to say that Barça have been neglecting him, as they have been starting him every game, a large part of their media revolves around him, and there has been consistent effort to upgrade him and get his contract situated.
Secondly, it makes no sense for him to switch teams now, especially when his future has been hinged upon the new “Xavi and Iniesta” duo in him and Pedri. If he’s in it for money, the money that can come from that pairing alone is astronomical. He’s super highly favored in Spain, and so it makes literally zero sense for him to move to the premier league as well.
There’s more but it’s 6am and I haven’t slept, but you can read for yourself on other sites. Gavi shares an agent with none other than Luis Enrique, who (if you pay attention to sports news) is a favorite candidate for the new coaching position at Chelsea.
All in all, it’s very important to be critical of the media we consume and not take everything at face value. Reporters take advantage of a lack of media literacy in order to get people to interact with their pieces more out of outrage/ fear/ etc. For someone who was playing like a first team player on a B team contract and celebrates his goals by literally kissing the crest, there should be more confidence in his loyalty.
(Last thing: now that Messi is old, he plays striker. So if anyone is in danger cause of El Leo, it’s Ferran and Ansu)
