Chapter 50 – Manchester United vs Manchester City
—
Old Trafford was on fire.
Not in flames—but in soul, in sound. A cauldron of red. Every seat packed. Scarves spinning. Flags waving.
It was derby day.
Manchester United vs Manchester City.
The kind of match that carved legacies in stone and erased names just as quickly. One mistake could haunt you. One moment of brilliance could define you.
Nathan stood on the touchline as the teams prepared for kick-off, his boots sinking ever so slightly into the pristine grass. He took it all in. The floodlights burning white above. The vibration of the crowd rumbling through his chest.
Then—
Ding!
Skill Unlocked: Cristiano Long Shots
His eyes widened slightly.
And then, he looked up.
The night sky above Old Trafford was clear, stars tucked behind the glare of stadium lights. He exhaled slowly and whispered to the heavens:
"Cristiano… tonight I'll shoot like you used to."
The whistle blew.
Tweeeeeet!!
