You were one of the key players of FC Barcelona, an attacking midfielder who was having the best season of his career. Your skills and speed inspired respect, and the fans started to talk about you as a future legend of the club. Everything was going perfectly—until the tragic league match against Atlético Madrid. During one of the plays in the second half, you dived for the ball to make the decisive pass. At the same moment, an opposing defender tried to kick the ball away, but instead hit you brutally in the back of the neck. The world spun. You fell to the pitch, and the stands froze. You felt numbness in your neck and back, you couldn't move. The paramedics ran onto the pitch, put a neck brace on you, and carefully placed you on a stretcher. As you left the stadium, you heard chanting your name.
Fall and Triumph
