Además, nos acercamos hasta San Sebastián y Bilbao para conocer la última hora de los dos primeros equipos que buscarán una plaza en la final de la Copa del Rey. 

Raphael Dias Belloli, más conocido como Raphinha, gana el premio a mejor deportista del año para SER Catalunya. El brasileño, actual líder del Barça, habló en El Larguero sobre su pasada temporada, en la que dio un paso más en su carrera y se convirtió en un verdadero capitán en la sombra, así como el reflejo de Flick en el césped. "Parece que alguien ha visto mis partidos...", bromeó en los micros de la SER, ya que se quedó fuera de la lucha por el Balón de Oro, galardón por el que mereció estar luchando con Dembélé y Lamine Yamal. Además, el programa 200 de El bar de Sique Rodríguez también analiza la siguiente cita que tendrá el carioca, que es, ni más ni menos, las semifinales de Copa del Rey contra el Atlético de Madrid. El primer enfrentamiento es este jueves en el Metropolitano. La vuelta, dentro de un mes, en Barcelona.

Troy also reflects on Rashford's impact at Barcelona and Messi's stance on club politics, concluding with a focus on Frankie de Jong's resurgence and predictions for upcoming matches.

Rashford has found a new love for the game at Barcelona. Messi is unlikely to get involved in club elections. Frankie de Jong is showing signs of leadership and world-class performance.
