English abstract

This article proposes an analysis of the discourse of f ered in the opinion columns of

ElPunt/Avui+ on the Spanish national Team during the 2010 Football World Cup. Despite the Barça imprint

on the team and its ‘catalanicity’, it had to be rejected as the symbol of ‘nationalistic’, ‘subjugating’ and

‘ungratef ul’ state f ollowing the narrative of Spain as perpetrator and Catalonia as victim. The analysis of a

representative text revealed the metaphorization of this conf lict in terms of ‘rape’. By means of this

discourse the team was rejected, the state constructed as illegitimate and the f uture understanding

presented as impossible.
