The dream of the Seville final turns into a nightmare. The trauma of losing the European Cup final at home, against an unknown opponent, and without having managed to score a single goal in the penalty shootout, drags on for two years, until it erupts in the players’ rebellion against the president in what became known as the Hesperia Mutiny, also fueled by problems over contracts with the tax authorities. After ten years, Núñez has only one card left to play before leaving office: to back a winning hand, Johan Cruyff. Overcoming all kinds of obstacles, he will experience with him the best moments of his presidency, but also the beginnings of a rivalry that will tear the club apart in the future. As a consequence of this rivalry, three days before the most important day in Barça’s history — the Wembley final — Núñez announces an unexpected decision.
