Vs AC Milan (6)

After that second goal, San Siro felt electric and weary at the same time. The Milan fans were roaring, faces lit by flares and hope, but somewhere in the shadows of the colossal stadium, Lecce's bench burned with something far more desperate. Fire. Refusal. A belief born not from pride, but from defiance.

Alex Walker stood still, legs planted like steel, his mouth drawn into a tight line. Around him, coaches paced, substitutes buzzed with uncertainty, but he remained unmoved. He knew exactly what this moment called for. Not panic. Not caution.

It called for boldness.

He turned sharply toward his bench and shouted, voice slicing through the din like broken glass.

"Ramadani, out. Helgasson, you're in. Gallo, off. Guilbert, get ready."

No one questioned it. Not tonight. Guilbert, the right fullback with a no-nonsense edge, nodded once and pulled on his vest, no hesitation. This was war now, and he was more than ready for the front lines.
