Thinking Unthinkable||Cristiano Ronaldo

Chapter ten

Emily's POV

Before I left to Milan, I had a chat with my brother on the phone. We talked about our past and I even told him about Kevin. We comforted each other which made me feel a bit better.
Today's the big day, The champions league finals. We had to fly out to Milan, because that's where we were going to play. I sat next to Gareth for the flight which was great.
They all had shared hotel rooms, but I got my own.

I was in my hotel room, and changed into a navy blue dress that reached to my knees. For some reason we had to wear navy. The bus was waiting down stairs for all of us. I grabbed my suit case and headed down stairs, the bus was already there. I saw Gareth, and ran up to him.
"Sitting buddies?" I asked. He nodded. I sat with him in the back,
"aye, Cristiano has an eye for you." He whispered.
"No he doesn't, shut up." I cringed.
"He's looking over here, and I'm sure he's not looking at me." Gareth stated.
"You never know.." I chuckled.
The ride to the stadium wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst. I got out of the bus and cameras were flashing everywhere.

I took my suitcase and went inside of the locker room. I changed into my training uniform, and walked out onto the pitch. Fans were already taking seats. We only trained for ten minutes because they had to prepare for the champions league opening ceremony.

I grabbed my suit case, and grabbed my uniform. A newly white, specially customised for the occasion uniform. I put it on and it fit like a glove. I was ready for this match. I checked my phone and it was blowing up. I got a text from both my father and Leo.
"I hope Athletico win.." Leo said.
"Hey good luck darling." My father said. I smiled.

I stood as usual between Karim and Cristiano.
"Good luck baby, I'm sure you'll do your best." He whispered into my ear. I punched his arm, and he gasped as he pretended to be hurt. We started to walk out. Every single seat was sold. One side were the Madridistas and on the other were the Athletico fans.

I was amazed by the sight. It was a astonishing sight, I was baffled. We got into our positions, on the pitch. It's the beautiful game.

A few minutes in, and you could feel the pressure. The realization that if we lost tonight, tears would be shed and hearts broken. You could see that the defence of Athletico was really keeping the ball away from the net. Until one of them struck, one of our player earring us a free-kick. Which, Kroos decided to take. Gareth had a small touch with his head and Ramos finished it off.
"gooooaaaallllllll del REALLL MADRID!" WE SCORED. THE ROAR OF THE CROWD SURFACED.
The Athletico players, went to the referee saying it shouldn't have been considered a goal. I considered it a goal, and so did the referee.
We all celebrate, I ran to Ramos giving him a high-five and celebrated with Gareth. Cristiano came giving Ramos a bro hug.

The match started again, Athletico made many shots. But they got interfered either by The defense or our goalie. Before I knew it the half-time whistle blew. We all went to the locker room.

"Great first half! We're winning and I couldn't be more proud. But I want a higher score of possible. So Cristiano, Gareth and Karim. Attack! It's all up to you guys to make sure that we get an extra goal." Zinedine said with a huge smile on his face.

We all nodded as we were out of breath. We drank water and we ran back out to the pitch.
We got into our positions again. The match started again. Then the worst possible thing happened, Athletico got a penalty. Greizmann took it but it hit the crossbar. Not much happened after, but then Carvajal had a tough blow. He got injured and had to be replaced around the 52' minute.
Athletico have come much closer to the net now. We are exhausted and you could tell from how we were playing. We just wanted the match to be over. Toni Kroos got replaced by Isco. Then Lucas Vasquez for Karim. I was beyond exhausted I felt like I could faint.

Athletico earned a free-kick, which could potentially help them a lot. The Athletico player centralized it, and a header came.
"goalllll de Athletico de Madrid!" This was the worst thing, that could happen. We had no more changes, and we were likely to go to extra-time.

The final whistle blew, and it was time to go to extra time. I could pass out at anytime.
"I know you guys are tired but I didn't think we were going to go this far which is why I made the three changes. But come on just hold on." Zinedine told us. I shook my head throwing a bit of cold water on my head.

We got back onto the pitch, the next fifteen minutes were hell. We weren't even playing football we just trying to survive. Athletico had most of the dominance and I only saw Casemiro put the most effort.

Then the next fifteen-started. I tried to go after the ball but I was just too tired. I didn't even know where I was anymore. After this we had to go to penalties.

The people to take the penalties are Ramos, Marcelo, Gareth, Cristiano and I.
Ramos lined up to take the shot. I stood next to Cristiano and hoped for the best. Ramos took the shot and made it! I cheered.
It was Athleticos turn, and Griezmann kicked making it in.
Then it was Marcelos turn, he kick. Oblak guessed right but Marcelos kick was too powerful.
Then it was Gabi's turn and he kicked it straight in.
It was Gareths turn, and he kicked it beautifully.
Then it was Sauls turn, he made it on the top left.
Now it was my turn, I felt a bit of pressure.
"Don't worry babe, you'll do fine." Cristiano whispered. I nodded ignoring the fact that he had just called me babe once more.

I stood a few steps behind the ball, and I planned to kick it on the top right corner. I ran up to the ball and hit it with all my force.
Oblack guessed the right direction.
But my hit was much too powerful.
I have just made history by scoring that penalty! I cheered as I went back to where my team mates were.
"I told you." Cristiano said. I rolled my eyes and looked at JuanFran who had to kick next.
He took his shot, but it hit the side bar.
We might have just won the champions league. But now it's Cristianos turn. All he has to do is score.
He stood in his famous position behind the ball. He took a few steps back, and had his eye focused on his target.
He shot.

The stadium went wild, I jumped and Cristiano took off his shirt. He ran celebrating and I ran after Him. I couldn't contain my emotions. He ran to me giving me a hug and followed my a slow kiss.

What he hell, oh no. This is bad, really bad. Now everyone knows. But I couldn't help but kiss back, I didn't even have a choice because if I didn't I would embarrass him. Now everyone knows, my father! Oh gosh now Leo knows. He's probably pissed.
"Cristiano... You shouldn't have." I told him.
"I like you, I really do."his lips said.
I gave him a smile. But this could complicate everything. Everyone cheered! I looked over to the stands and I saw Madridistas cheering but Athletico fans crying. I felt bad, but it's life. I saw Greizmann shedding tears.
"It's okay bud. You did great." I patted him on the back.
"You were one of the best on the pitch, and in the end of the day you did great." I tried to comfort. He cracked a small smile and walked away. I went and celebrated with the team. Athletico went to get there medals, in disappointment. Then it was our turn, and we went to get our medals. The captain got the trophy. We waited a few seconds before the confetti blew and Sergio lifted the trophy.
We had won.
