MARISOL's POV

"my ears just popped." i just love walking into the camp nou. if your ears don't pop then the crowd clearly isn't loud enough.

it's the type of environment we're gonna need to win. gladly, the second mikky and i sat down with my mom and brothers, it was kicking off. "one of these days, we're gonna miss a whole first half from coming late." yeah but today isn't one of them even though i tried really hard to get everyone out on time.

i really didn't wanna miss a second of pedri... and the team.

and i wouldn't have to now as he already takes the corner kick from the one closest to us.

it's just a little reminder that we're matching.

"you guys are so cute." mikky says from next to me and i take the compliment because that really is all i needed to hear.

i couldn't help but remember last night. in my eyes, it's one of the best dates i could and will ever go on.

but maybe instead of reminiscing on last nights events, i should focus on making sure pedri is playing well especially after he had a big chance... and missed it.

"pendejo! (idiot!)"

"MATEO!"

my mom and i can never catch a break.

"yeah let's not say that about your sister's boyfriend, okay?" mikky intervenes with a smug smile but whether he's my boyfriend or not, mateo can be so brutal.

and i don't even know where he gets it from.

the game only continues and we keep missing what i think are easy shots.

not even my dad can get through.

"imagine we go home with a tie... or loss." what i didn't realize when i slowly turned my head towards mikky was that thiago was copying my exact motion. "let's not jinx ourselves."

"exactamente. (exactly)"

if it weren't for the whistle that stopped the game for a moment, we wouldn't have seen frenkie get a yellow card. "YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS?!"

this really isn't how we should be playing in the first half. "have you noticed how sassy pedri's become? this is like, the second game he's yelled at a ref." mikky mentions and honestly, i'm surprised no ref has pulled a yellow on him.

but he has every right to knowing him and the team are actually playing accordingly.

"WHY ARE WE MISSING EASY SHOTS?!"

"let's calm down now, mari."

except i can't because the first half is coming to an end and kounde also had an amazing chance and if it weren't for ter stegan just now, cádiz would've scored on us.

"i should stop coming to these if i want a normal blood pressure."

"too bad!" i give ciro a blank stare before i realize someone fouled pedri. i was at the edge of my seat but he got up quick and shrugged it off.
