Chapter 141: Back to Broadfield
The flight back to England couldn't have been more different from the tense, silent trip to Germany. That first journey had been heavy with nerves, each player quietly battling their own fears.
This time, though, the flight carried a quiet, triumphant energy. It wasn't a loud celebration, but a calm, meaningful one more a shared recognition of what they'd achieved than a wild party.
The cabin felt lighter, filled with a deep sense of pride that went beyond just one result.
Players were spread out across the cabin, each caught in their own quiet moment.
Some were watching the stunning equaliser on repeat, footage filmed by a fan, showing the ball hitting the net and the BayArena erupting in noise.
Even through a screen, the moment felt surreal, almost like a dream they were still trying to believe.
