Story Transcript:

Ca: El sol començava a baixar darrere el paisatge ondulat de la Masia, escampant tons taronges i vermells pels camps d'entrenament.
En: The sun began to dip behind the rolling landscape of La Masia, casting orange and red hues over the training fields.

Ca: La tardor omplia l'aire de frescor i les fulles feien un suau murmur mentre queien.
En: Autumn filled the air with a crispness, and the leaves made a soft rustling sound as they fell.

Ca: Les llums de la ciutat de Barcelona, allà a la llunyania, brillaven com petits punts d'or mentre la festa de la Mercè omplia els carrers amb alegria i música.

Ca: D'un temps ençà, havia començat a sentir marejos inesperats.
En: For some time, she had begun to experience unexpected dizziness.

Ca: Temia que, si algú ho descobria, no li deixarien seguir amb el seu somni.
En: She feared that if anyone found out, they wouldn't let her pursue her dream.

En: He had noticed that Núria wasn't quite herself.

Ca: "Núria, estàs segura que estàs bé?
En: "Núria, are you sure you're okay?"

Ca: " li va preguntar amb veu suau.
En: he asked softly.

Ca: Núria va somriure, però el seu somriure no arribava als ulls.
En: Núria smiled, but her smile didn't reach her eyes.

Ca: "Estic bé, confia en mi," va respondre, decidida a amagar la veritat.
En: "I'm fine, trust me," she replied, determined to hide the truth.

Ca: L'entrenador va fer sonar el xiulet i tots els jugadors van anar als seus llocs per començar la sessió.

En: The field was full of hope, of nerves.

Ca: Avui, més que mai, Núria volia demostrar el seu talent.
En: Today, more than ever, Núria wanted to showcase her talent.
