In the 90th minute, it was 4–4. Then the game did something impossible.
But sometimes, late at night, the console would power on by itself. And if you listened closely, you could hear a faint, glitched crowd singing "You’ll Never Walk Alone" —in 8-bit.

Felix reached the League Final. The opponent: Barcelona Legends 2026 —a team he’d built in a previous save that had leaked into this one due to a corrupted memory card.
