No VAR needed for that one.

Keeper could have done more, to be fair.

Previous post (Part 1/2).

Following post (Part 2/2).

Without much distance to work with, he manages to lift the ball just above the wall and into the net before Neuer could react.

And just like that, he takes care of a golden opportunity right at the edge of the box, making it level despite being a man down and with time running out.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Poor keeper. Nothing to do but fall to his knees after that.

Que viva la nobleza de los recursos utilizados.

Operación mufasa: Éxito absoluto.

Atención Uruguay que tenemos una nueva selección que se le da por inventarse estrellas. Si todo sale como Allah lo manda por ahi se enfrentan en la final mundialista más fantasma de la historia.

PD: acá ya todos sabemos que el legítimo campeón de la Afcon 2025 fué Senegal, de la mano de Sadio Mané, con un golazo en el alargue de otro muchacho, después de que brahim la pecheara con el peor panenka de la historia. Pero se ve que la indiscutible realidad no va a frenar a los mandrilistas, y a los esbirros de espn, de incluir ese nefasto invento por escritorio como algo "oficial". Buenas tardes.

Fuera de joda, agarrate Vini que te vacunan desde el VAR.

So it came a 4th time, two years from our last award, right before turning 32 and following the 2nd award for Zlatan's regen. After an incredible treble winning season with Lyon, -which came following our 3-year stay at Genoa, where we carried the captain's armband, leading the club to European glory- we manage to grab what would most likely end up as our last Ballon d'or for the remainder of this save. Perhaps not due to the lack of g/a or silverware, but simply due to the undeniable fact that we're entering the last stages of our footballing career, and the eventual decline in form and abilities is all but inevitable, not to mention the insane regens coming up and threatening to take it all, no questions asked.
