Beep!
The Madrid bench exhaled a sigh of relief, their expression relieved. Somehow, they've managed to escape another dangerous predicament.
The opposition had made countless relentless efforts to crush their dreams, but it seemed fate had something else planned for them.
Even so, the game hadn't ended.
The clock still ticked, and the match had to resume. However, with this wasted effort, they've earned themselves another lifeline.
Upon collecting the ball, Oblak placed it before him for a goal kick. But just as he was about to kick the ball, he paused, bent, and shifted its position. He repeated this action a few times before the referee caught the wind of his intention.
The referee, ever so harsh, booked him for time-wasting.
The opposition, on the other hand, didn't look even a bit relieved about the booking. Instead, their frowns deepened as the clock ticked.
With less than a minute left, every second was precious.
