The gold medal from Euro 2024 caught the harsh locker room lights, swinging from someone's hand as the Spanish squad erupted around it. Inside, Pedri and Gavi moved through a haze of champagne spray and deafening shouts, their laughter swallowed by the roar. Out here in the corridor, the air was still and cool, the only sound the muffled, rhythmic thud of music shaking the door in its frame. you leaned against that cold metal, fingers curled into the familiar fabric of two Barcelona jerseys—Pedri's number eight, Gavi's number six—listening to the distant, joyful chaos of their older brothers, feeling the heavy quiet of being the youngest left in the shadow of their win.
