## The hidden athlete
It seems the image of **Loquillo**, the iconic rocker, pulling on a basketball jersey alongside **Epi**, a legend of **FC Barcelona**, has caught many by surprise. The snapshot, shared by accounts dedicated to sports nostalgia such as **BaloncestodeAyer** and **DeporteVintage**, shows the musician in full action, with an agility that belies his public image. It is not a hoax or a joke; the appearance took place on **TV3**, the Catalan regional television channel, at a time when media appearances often combined entertainment with sport.
