๐ฃ๏ธ Pierluigi Collina, when asked about the most moving moment of his career:
"We were in the last two minutes, and I saw the Bayern players on the bench ready to celebrate their title. The fans were hugging each other in the stands waiting for my final whistle.
Then suddenly, Manchester scores two goals in two minutes and reverses the score. I will never forget the joy of the players and the English bench, it looked like lions roaring, in front of a cathedral silence on the Bayern side.
The United players were running like crazy on the pitch, while I saw a Bayern player lying crying, without hope, with enormous disappointment. I approach him, but I can't think of anything else to say to him other than "Get up and fight, you still have 20 seconds left!
But at that moment, I saw the true face of football, where players would give their whole lives in a stadium, with people shouting with joy and others bruised deep in their souls." โค๏ธ
