"Lo más sangrante de todo es que a veces nos echan la culpa a nosotras de lo que les pasa a los jugadores. Es lo último.!"
An extract from an article called "The Story of a Pair of Football Boots" where the story is told with the boots as the mouthpiece, not the wearer, probably a play on Cervantes' "Coloquio de los perros". ¡ Es lo último!-'It's the latest thing ?' or does it mean " it really takes the cake "?? Thanks for your help.
