Adriana Almenar has spent her whole life fighting for her place on the pitch. With parents who never believed in her football dream, she found her real family at La Masia - alongside Aitana Bonmatí and Laia Codina. The three of them grew up inseparable, their bond as unshakable off the field as it was on it. But when Laia signs for Arsenal, the trio is broken apart. Suddenly, Adri is left in Barcelona with Aitana while Laia builds a new life in London. Facetimes and voice notes aren't enough to bridge the distance, and Adri realizes the ache she feels isn't just about missing a best friend. It's something deeper, something she's been too scared to admit. As careers take off and choices pull them in different directions, Adri is forced to confront what she really wants: glory, loyalty, or love. And when her own path threatens to lead her across the Channel, she has to decide whether chasing football's biggest stage is worth risking the trio that made her who she is. In a story of friendship, distance, and the fine line between family and something more, Adri will discover that sometimes the hardest game to win is the one you play with your heart.

Kaia Marie Catley has always felt like the odd one out. The youngest of the Catley siblings, she grew up under the roof of a man she's always called "dad," but the truth about her birth has left her with questions she can't ignore. After a whirlwind 2023 World Cup filled with celebration, Kaia wakes up in a Los Angeles hotel with no memory of the night before. All she has are a wedding ring, divorce papers, paracetamol, and a heartfelt letter from a stranger signed only as "L." Reality crashes in: she's accidentally caught in a life-changing mess she barely remembers. Determined to make sense of it all, Kaia heads to Barcelona with her sister Steph, hoping for a fresh start. But her mission to uncover the truth about her past-her father, her place in the world, and the life she thought she knew-is about to collide with football, family, and the unexpected chaos of love.

At twenty-six, Isradora finally has the world at her feet - and yet, she can't shake the feeling that something's missing. Selected for the 2023 World Cup, Isradora returns to the world stage stronger, older, and more determined than ever. But standing across the pitch is the woman she hasn't seen in years - Alexia Putellas. Cold. Distant. Familiar in a way that makes her chest ache. The only thing Isradora remembers from their tangled teenage past is a pair of hazel eyes, a soft accent, and the feeling of being wanted. Now, with the pressure of football, the weight of her past, and her madre back in her life after years apart, Isradora must face the truth she's buried for too long - about the father she lost, the memories she locked away, and the girl who might've never stopped loving her. Because the past always finds a way to return. Especially when it never really left. 25.09.96

Imogen Walsh has never stayed for anyone. Known for drifting from city to city with a camera in her hands and no strings attached, she's built a life behind the lens, far away from the football career she lost and the shadow of her sister, Keira Walsh. Then she meets Kika Nazareth. What starts as a night neither of them expected turns into days spent wandering Barcelona together, sharing laughter, secrets, and a connection Immy doesn't know how to handle. But misunderstandings, old wounds, and the past Immy has spent years outrunning threaten to tear them apart before anything real can begin. When words fail them, the only thing left is a language they both understand. Flowers. And the question neither of them can ignore: Is love worth learning to stay for? 23.05.2001
