As planned, I took the first flight to Brussels on Thursday morning and then a taxi to the European Parliament, where I met the politician I was set to interview. After that, I met our paper's correspondent for lunch, which was very informative. She was in her fourties and we talked about the political landscape in Europe, but she also wanted to know some office gossip, which I tried to deliver.

Since the office had booked me the latest return flight at 22.20, I sat in a café for the rest of the afternoon, writing my piece and I was very relieved to be able to finish it before driving back to the airport.

I managed to watch the first half of the game while sitting in the airport lounge - Pablo started, which was the first time I was a bit gloomy about that, I would have preferred him to rest, but also Ferran was and I was happy for him, he was really proving himself and even though the breakup was still affecting him very much in private, it had given him a boost on the pitch. The first 45 minutes ended without a goal and shortly after the beginning of the second half I had to switch off my phone as the plane was starting. This meant that I would know the final score only after midnight when we would land back in Barcelona. I was anxious the whole flight, but as soon as we touched Spanish soil, I deactivated flight mode and saw that we had won 2-0. This was a massive result and I immediately texted my boyfriend.
