24 minutes, 1-1…
Game on.
In the 27th minute, PSG tried to bite back.
The Georgian magician, Kvaratskhelia took matters into his own hands again, blitzing past Kounde on the left like he was not there. He cut inside and rifled a shot that sizzled past the far post.
The cameras caught him snarling in frustration. The crowd felt it, the passion. This wasn't just a final.
It was a legacy warfare.
In the 29th minute, there was almost another twist.
Gavi intercepted a lazy pass from Fabian Ruiz and launched a counter, passing to Yamal. Lamine Yamal sprinted forward with options left and right. In the end, he made his decision easily, choosing Sam again.
As soon as Sam received the pass, he set himself up before unleashing a piledriver from 25 yards.
It flew.
It dipped.
And missed by inches!
