LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 241
“Stealing the score, SIUUUU─!”
The moment Son Jinho snatched Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal and celebrated.
Cristiano Ronaldo began to go through the five stages of grief.
“He must have shaken the net before touching Son Jinho’s legs. No way, Son Jinho stealing my goal? That should never happen.”
Denial.
“Son Jinho, I believed in you, but you betrayed me!!”
Anger.
“Son Jinho’s goal isn’t confirmed yet; all I need is for the referee to recognize my score….”
Bargaining.
“….”
Depression.
“Well…. at least the assist is recorded….”
And finally, acceptance.
Cristiano Ronaldo showcased a myriad of emotions in just one minute and managed to calm down.
Beeeeeep─!
“Offside.”
But when the referee and assistant referee declared Son Jinho offside…
“SIUUUUUUUUUUUUU─!”
He had no choice but to wail like a hyper transparent Ronaldo.
***
Just like that, Cristiano Ronaldo, whose assist was also canceled, threw his captain’s armband and rushed over to me, fervently protesting.
“SIUUUU─! SIUU! SIUUUUU!! SIUUU!”
Cristiano Ronaldo, who had even forgotten how to speak, was fervently protesting.
I gently told him the bitter truth as if he were spewing dragon breath.
“Cris, calm down and listen. I said I would give you a pass, not an assist.”
“…!!”
As Cristiano Ronaldo, shocked and speechless, looked at me, I offered him a wise expression while sharing a life lesson.
“Cris, that means you should carefully read the terms in the future.”

[GoOoOoOoL─! Dreams come true, Son Jinho!!! Son Jinho successfully seals the deal for Manchester United’s Champions League final spot at the Theater of Dreams, Old Trafford!!]
The moment Korean commentators cheered wildly at Son Jinho’s score.
“SIUUUUUUUUUUU─!”
Ronaldo’s roar was broadcast to soccer fans all over the world.
[Huff… Cristiano Ronaldo, who lost the score, is getting angry.]
└ What the hell is that beastly sound, lol.
└ Ronaldo, lol.
└ Sin-doo hyung is so pissed off, lol.
└ Honestly, I can understand why he’s mad, lol.
└ But doesn’t Ronaldo have it coming? How many times did he steal my bro’s goals?
└ For real, lol. That last time he stole with his tongue was shocking.
While the stunned Cristiano Ronaldo was going through the five stages of grief…
[Oh, the Bayern Munich players are claiming offside.]
The Bayern Munich players started rushing to the referee, claiming offside.
[Ah… offside is declared.]
The referee, after exchanging glances with the assistant referee, called for offside.
[We need to take a closer look at the goal scene.]
As Son Jinho’s goal scene played back, the commentators and all viewers acknowledged Son Jinho’s offside.
[Yes, Son Jinho’s pass is onside. Cristiano Ronaldo, who received the ball on the left, took a shot. But here, Son Jinho’s position… Ah….]
└ Damn, lol.
└ Isn’t he clearly ahead? lol.
└ For real, lol.
└ Ah, lol. He totally became like Luis Nani, lol.
[Yes… definitely offside.]
└ Wow. But honestly, whether it’s offside or not, that was impressive;;
└ What surprised me more was that he dashed to the half-line after passing.
└ His speed was insane.
└ Even in a full-time situation, that speed is ridiculous;;
└ Hmmm. Is that the case? It seems like Ronaldo hesitated looking around before taking the shot, that’s a big factor.
└ Ah…. Really should read the atmosphere better.
└ What atmosphere? What I said is a fact, lol.
└ Damn, someone bring that kid’s entourage here.

After Son Jinho was ruled offside, the game resumed with a free kick for Bayern Munich.
“The match isn’t over yet, stay focused until the end!”
Now, even extra time was running out, and additional time was given on top of extra time.
Thanks to the referee’s mercy, Bayern Munich’s last attack begins.
Alex Ferguson stepped onto the ground, glancing at the clock, applying invisible pressure on the referee.
“Boooooo─!”
“What the hell are you doing sitting here while time’s up?!”
Amidst the jeers from Manchester United fans.
Bayern Munich’s last attack was thwarted by Manchester United’s defense, and the referee blew the whistle, signaling the end of the match.
As some Bayern Munich players sat on the grass with despondent expressions, shedding tears.
“Just like the Busby Babes in days gone by,
We’ll keep the Red Flags flying high.”
The players and fans of Manchester United began celebrating their advancement to the Champions League final.
[Manchester United has once again reached the promised land by defeating Bayern Munich.]
.
.
.
Game over.
Manchester United 1 : 1 Bayern Munich.
[Manchester United wins 1-1 against Bayern Munich in their home game.]
[With a cumulative score of 3-2, Manchester United advances to the Champions League final.]
[‘Munich Killer.’ Son Jinho scores 3 goals against Bayern Munich in the Champions League semifinals….]
[‘Big Game Player Son Jinho’ is likely to receive the Champions League top scorer title.]
[Champions League Top Scorer (likely) Son Jinho, will he win his second Ballon d’Or?]
└ If my bro wins the treble, isn’t it possible?
└ Well… since it’s divided with Ronaldo, it’ll be tough.
└ Damn, what happens if he wins the second Ballon d’Or?
└ What do you mean? Just be hella mad, lol.
└ Damn, thinking about those British guys tea-bagging already makes me sick.
└ But honestly, the idea of those British guys tea-bagging is kind of funny now.
[Experts and netizens worry that Ronaldo and Son Jinho’s votes might split…. “Although Son Jinho has risen to prominence by winning the Ballon d’Or, his skin color is still a disadvantage rather than an advantage.”]
[Cristiano Ronaldo explodes with anger…. “Son Jinho needs to show me a bit more respect.”]
[What made Ronaldo explode with anger…?]
[Son Jinho’s multi-goal amid offside declarations….]
[“Score stealing” Son Jinho, an unexpected character controversy?]
[Son Jinho attempts a Luis Nani before Ronaldo.]
[Son Jinho conveys his apology to Ronaldo. “I promised to repay with an assist in the league match.”]
[Cristiano Ronaldo accepts Son Jinho’s proposal. “Two assists.”]
└ Seriously, lol. Are Son Jinho and Ronaldo on good terms or bad?
└ They seem to be getting along well. Always hanging out together.
└ SCV? Human race worker?
└ Son Jinho, Ronaldo, van Persie.
└ If you roast that worm into a worker, it’s a real catharsis.
└ Seriously, what era is this game from, you old farts;;

The day after the Champions League semifinals between Manchester United and Bayern Munich concluded…
At the training ground of FC Barcelona, Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper.
On the main pitch, the first team’s primary training area, Camp Tito Vilanova, the players began discussing the Champions League semifinal match between Manchester United and Bayern Munich that took place yesterday.
“Hey Luis, did you watch the game yesterday?”
Neymar asked, to which Luis Suárez nodded.
There was no need to ask which match it was.
Because with the Champions League final matchup confirmed, articles were pouring out like crazy.
“Yeah. Man United made it through like Leo wanted.”
While the two of them talked about the Champions League final.
“Jinho… you must be excited like me, right?”
Lionel Messi smiled quietly a step away from his teammates.
He was already filled with excitement at the thought of meeting Son Jinho on the stage of the Champions League final.
While Lionel Messi was brimming with anticipation, FC Barcelona’s training ended and he stayed behind for some personal training.
“Leo, what are you doing there?”
Neymar asked during the unusual training session.
“Header practice.”
“…?”
Lionel Messi left an unclear answer.
Unbeknownst to him, Son Jinho had succeeded in scratching Lionel Messi.
