"Two minutes of stoppage time have passed, and City has hardly allowed Inter Milan any possession in the last three minutes. If Inter can't even keep the ball, how can they hope to equalize?"
But even if you do get the ball, what can you really expect?
Zanetti–Cannavaro–Thuram–Lúcio–Zambrotta. And in front of them: Makelele–Gattuso–Lampard.
You think you can break through that defensive chain?
For the set-piece, City pushed only two players forward: Deco to take the kick and Trezeguet positioned to receive it.
Baggio moved closer to Trezeguet, forcing Deco to delay the restart and gesture to the referee—the Inter players were too close!
The referee warned Baggio, who muttered that City was wasting time. Ignoring the complaint, the referee kept his focus on the match, leaving Baggio no choice but to step back.
