The glare of monitors and the clamor of sports broadcasts created a hectic chaos in the Catalunya Sport editorial office. Kathryn Malloy, an intern with shaking hands, received the pivotal assignment: an interview with Lamine Yamal. 'The Lamine Yamal?' she asked again. Her editor didn't look up from his screen.

Her press pass hung around her neck like a label. Her shoulders curved inward under the weight of sidelong looks as she approached the star, who stood relaxed by the pitch, still glowing from the match.
