206 - Champions League Final (Part 1)

The ball rolled from Arthur's feet to Lucas, who quickly played it to Javier. That was the start of the 2017-18 Champions Youth League final.

From the first touch, everyone realized this was no ordinary game. The ball glided differently across the pitch because of Wembley's great turf, which was nothing like the pitches at the training centers where they used to play. In addition, Lucas' heart was pounding, but he wasn't the only one.

His teammates were feeling the pressure of playing in a legendary stadium, surrounded by thousands of fans who turned the atmosphere into something almost suffocating.

Felix, the Brighton midfielder, received a pass from Javier and immediately felt the difference in pace. Two Bayern players went to press him, forcing him to speed up his touch to Raphael on the left wing. The No. 11 tried to advance, but was pressured by Alexander Nitzl who, with a precise tackle, stole the ball and started a fast counter-attack.
