Every year Tomás Roncero starts the seasons talking about Real Madrid's treble and the Ballon d'Or for one of its players. This time it wasn't a treble, but a septuple.
Exceptionally, this season offered Real Madrid the opportunity to win seven titles. The last edition of the Intercontinental Cup coincided with the Club World Cup.
Roncero had no doubt that Real Madrid would win it all. He also didn't doubt that Vinícius would be the Ballon d'Or. Nor did he doubt that Bernabéu, "the best stadium in the world," would host the 2030 World Cup final.
However, dreams are just dreams. Roncero claims that Barça plays with kids and that kids have little or nothing to do against a super team like Real Madrid made up of superstars.
The Comical Celebration of Tomás Roncero
He demonstrated it in his predictions in the days leading up to the final. They served him to repeat that "Real Madrid doesn't play finals, it wins them" or that "Real Madrid never gives up or surrenders."

Real Madrid lost the Super Cup final. It was unable to pose a threat to a Barça that played more than 30 minutes with ten men.
That's why Tomás Roncero's celebration of Mbappé's first goal narrated by the SER channel is comical.
"Who Would Have Thought That Barça Would Score Five against Us?"
Once again, Roncero's predictions didn't come true. His dreams and illusions were shattered by the harsh reality of Barça's "kids."
In Madrid, they mock the culé-themed broadcasts by RAC1. However, Roncero, deputy director of the national newspaper AS, doesn't hold back in his expression of joy for the 1-0.
He didn't know what was coming next. Real Madrid left the lion wounded, and what happened, happened. Something similar to what happened in October at Bernabéu, so it's not new.
"Who would have thought that Barça would score five against Real Madrid?" Roncero asked in surprise on El Chiringuito. That's the problem, that after the 0-4, they remain just as cocky.
The one who couldn't imagine it was Tomás Roncero himself, a famous soothsayer for his predictions that never come true.
