It was already a week since the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

A week since the football world trembled.

A week since Sam almost singlehandedly sank a nation at an epic FIFA World Cup final clash.

A week later, the football world still trembled.

Samuel Moses, the 20 year old Nigerian phenomenon, had carried his nation to an unprecedented World Cup final, scoring a hat trick in the ultimate battle and earning both the Golden Boot and Golden Ball awards. 

Though it ended in heartbreak, Sam’s name was etched into eternity as the greatest African player the world had ever seen… at just 20.

But this was no overnight miracle.

From the dusty streets of Abraka, Nigeria, where barefoot dreams chased deflated balls, to dazzling crowds at Enyimba FC, to shocking England, going on a generational run with Fulham FC. All of it was documented in history.

Then came FC Barcelona… where he became a legend in just his debut season. Alongside these club triumphs were his exploits for country.

Yet… this is just the beginning.

This is the sequel to Rise of a Football God.

It follows Sam as he returns home for the first time since becoming a global icon, wrestling with fame, destiny, and the colossal pressure of being called “the savior of African football”.

With every match, every record shattered, every rival silenced, he forges a path toward the pantheon of immortals.

But greatness demands sacrifice. 

Legends are not born, they are forged in fire. And for Samuel Moses, the journey to becoming the Football God had only just begun. 

[“It’s time to forge a legacy.”]

…

[NOTE: For those that are curious, yes, the system still plays a role in his development, but it’s no longer as prominent as when it helped him build his foundation. Now, Sam is already established, so expect less system interaction.]

That meant one thing; it meant that for the next La Liga game, the dual Kings of the Spotify Camp Nou and the Santiago Bernabeu would be returning to action fresh and raring to wreak havoc.


The cold January air hung sharp over Catalonia, but inside the Spotify Camp Nou, more than ninety thousand fans created a furnace of noise and color.


It was Matchday 20 of the Spanish La Liga. It was another home game, and FC Barcelona fans felt on top of the world with their club still leading the pile at the top of the table.


The return leg of the fixture was finally here, and this time, it would be played in the Catalan giant's home.


Scarlet and blue banners waved in unison as the stadium roared alive, FC Barcelona fans singing his name as they welcomed their Ballon d'Or winner, not just that, but their golden boy and King Samuel Moses, back onto the pitch.
