Back to Football in 80 Stories

The first book from the best Spanish-language sports content creator.

Back to Football in 80 Stories is a personal and emotional journey through the footballers, matches, plays, hopes, disappointments, stadiums, penalties, and personal stories that have made football more than just a sport: a philosophy, a school, a way of understanding and living life.

With an exceptional ability to convey stories, journalist Iker Ruiz del Barco brings you 80 memorable moments from world football: from Baggio's missed penalty, Zidane's volley, Planicka's role during Mussolini's dictatorship, the friendship between Riquelme and Aimar, or the tragic fate of Andrés Escobar, to the figure of Santiago Bernabéu, the contribution of players in the 1974 Carnation Revolution, and much more.

Iker, already the most influential sports content creator in Spanish, invites you to the most important match, the one in the book you have in your hands.
