Manchester City [1] - Juventus [2]

-------------------------------------------------------

As the climactic match of FC Barcelona vs. Paris St. Germain came to a close, a much less intense but no less important match was on its final play...

Baro dominated the game with his new approach tailored around his training session with Kiyotaka. Instead of always attacking, he man-marked Nagi relentlessly to wear him down using his physicality. He opened up the scoreline with Juventus' first goal.

Just a couple plays later however, Chigiri cut through with his unmatched speed and scored from his 'golden' zone to get Manchester level with Juventus.

The stalemate didn't last long. Baro received a well-timed pass from Lorenzo and fired a shot off from 30 meters away... making the score 2-1 in favor of Juventus.

And so, it all came to an end... with this one, final play...

The ball, masked in the chaos of Juventus defenders and midfielders, fell to the ground and was controlled by Agi.

Prince: PASS AGI! PASS TO SEISHIRO!!!!!!!

The master striker roared out from the bench. Despite Nagi's constant failures, Prince still believed in Nagi's potential, wanting to build the offense through him.

Agi: TCH.

*PASS*

Agi passed the ball from in between two defenders to an open Nagi. Now all that stood in front of him was the backline of Juventus' defense.

Nagi tapped the ball forward with his back leg, similar to a rainbow. Sweat dripped down his face. The physical match took its toll on him.

Niko and Aryu readied themselves.

Niko: Here it comes!

Aryu: Activate Anti-Genius Defense!

Nagi sighed.

Nagi: Try and stop me.

He contorted his body and completed another rainbow flick over his head and followed up with a spin to break free from both Aryu and Nikko.

Aryu: He's through!

Nikko: And right into our buzzsaw.

Nagi was clear on goal and just outside the box...

He tapped the ball, still juggling up in the air, and stared ahead-

Lorenzo: DAH.

Nagi: ???

Lorenzo immediately rushed in and stood to obstruct Nagi's shot lane.

Lorenzo: Too bad. You're not the only one who's special, ok?

Nagi: Lorenzo...

Reo rushed from behind, sensing the hesitation from Nagi.

Reo: SHOOT, NAGI! DON'T HESITATE! JUST FOCUS ON THE GOAL!!!!!!!!

Nagi: Right...

Lorenzo collided into him, pushing Nagi off-balance while at the same time sticking a leg out to get in the way of the shot. Nagi's shot was weak.

Aiku: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

*HEADER*

Aiku dove forward and cleared the ball with his incredibly acrobatic abilities.
