In Elena’s home, opposites lived side by side: her mother Tota was both a catholic and a supporter of Nacional, while her father Roberto was an atheist and a Peñarol fan. Elena had to choose.
In 1966 Peñarol was on a winning streak. They had been crowned champions and, thanks to the magic of Spencer, had defeated Real Madrid in the InterCON-TInenTAL Cup final.
—Have you seen Elena?— the teacher asked at the door of the teachers’ college.
—Yes, she’s that girl shouting Dale campeón!
—The one wrapped in the yellow-and-black flag? That’s Elena?
