        Whose football is it? Judging by the direction it's taking, men in suits and expensive perfumes are about to expropriate a sport that belonged to the people. Now that the ball is moving away from the stands, this book redirects the focus and points to the fan. Ignacio Pato travels through eight cities to meet eight clubs and eight feelings: those of the fans of Liverpool, AEK, Napoles, Velez Mostar, Olympique de Marseille, Rapid Vienna, Besiktas and Rayo Vallecano. Communities that are a beacon of resistance and romance. With an enthusiastic style, the author runs away from the past to strengthen a relationship that will never be broken. Soccer is the people's game.
