Football owes one to its Little Prince

“N“You have the best”slid Griezmann when his departure to Orlando became official. At best it was understood the Cup and the Champions League that Atlético was fighting for. The first slipped from that fateful point for the red and whites and for the Frenchman himself, who lived his most painful night a decade ago in Milan and in a tournament where he has a chance to exact revenge.

The Champions League is the Little Prince’s last option to leave with a historic party in Neptune. The top red-and-white scorer in history culminates his tenth season with a record that is far from matching what he has meant for the entity. Winning the coronary orejona a historic career. It would allow us to lift a title to the sky of Budapest, the best possible title.

Against two colossi

And yes, football and luck owe a great farewell to one of the best players of the last two decades. Bad luck made him coincide with two legends like Messi and Cristiano, separating him from the individual trophies that he would have raised had it not been for being a contemporary of such sharks. All of this will be left behind if Budapest crowns a superlative, magical, legendary footballer. Not even his mistake of leaving for Barça would cover up a legendary legacy. The last dance is missing.
