The evening heat wave lingers in Dallas. In the 91st minute, Spain's winning goal flew into the net. The 41-year-old Ronaldo knelt on the turf, and his obsession with six World Cups was shattered to pieces.
Late at night in the hotel, he dreamed of the phone call from Ferguson on August 27, 2021, that year. "What if I went to Manchester City that day?"
When he woke up, he was really in the 2021 locker room. The phone lit up with 32 missed calls, and fate gave him a second choice. This time, he hung up the phone and walked towards the blue Ittihad.
Five years of memory are his only prophets. History can be rewritten, but every step must be based on the beat of reality - he must personally turn "if" into "I did it".
The Manchester City dynasty, the end of the two prides, and the last dance of the 2026 World Cup. Above the blue moon, no one can compare.
Very well written
Good looking, quick update
