It is perhaps the most difficult episode for Jose Pons, CEO of Bonnin Sanso. From the football grounds of Bintaufa, he experienced some of the toughest days of his life, just like many fans and members of Sporting Mahonés. A field that witnessed celebrations, cheers, and dreams… but also losses that go far beyond what one can imagine. Bintaufa holds laughter and embraces — but also silence and tears.
Thirteen years on, Jose returns to Bintaufa for the first time. He does not come alone — alongside him is Paco Segarra, the club’s former president, a friend and a brother through triumph and adversity. Together, they revisit memories and lessons from that chapter of their lives. Their return is not to reopen old wounds, but to heal them. Because they have earned that peace. Because this story is not only about football, but about perseverance, dedication, and the price one pays that goes far beyond money.
Paco Segarra, a Catalan, was a right-back for FC Barcelona and even trained alongside Diego Armando Maradona. A promising career that came to an end at the age of 25 due to injury. He also played in Vigo and Granada. His life is proof that sport shapes character: it teaches you to share, to live alongside others, and to get back up again. But it also serves as a reminder that life at the top is short — and that there is life beyond it.
In this episode, Paco Segarra opens up about everything that was never told following his departure from Sporting Mahonés. He speaks about football, his personal journey, the reasons behind launching the football venture in Menorca, the promotion to Segunda División B, the financial collapse, the mistakes and the betrayals. And about what it truly meant to give himself without reservation — even beyond sport.
An episode to remember, to understand — and above all, to heal.
