“It was the final two minutes. I saw Bayern’s players on the bench getting ready to celebrate the title, the fans were happy in the stadium because their team was about to be crowned Champions League winners.
Suddenly, Manchester United scored two goals in two minutes and turned the match around. I will never forget how the English side exploded with a roar so loud, like lions, while in the Bayern stands a funeral-like silence prevailed. 🫨
Manchester’s players were celebrating the second goal in a hysterical way when I saw a Bayern player collapse to the ground, completely hopeless, overwhelmed by deep despair.
I went over to him and couldn’t find any other words to say except: ‘Get up and fight, you still have twenty seconds left!!’
In that moment, I saw the true face of football: death and life in a single stadium, people celebrating like mad and people desperate to the point of death!!”
