God Of football Chapter 1008: Record Breaking Day!

Chapter 1008: Record Breaking Day!

The final whistle at the Allianz Arena did not merely conclude a football match; it marked the end of an era.

Arsenal had triumphed over Bayern Munich with a score of 5-2.

On any other occasion, such a result would have dominated the headlines.

However, the focus was far from Arsenal.

Nobody was paying much attention to Bayern either.

The entire football community and beyond were captivated by Izan.

Following the game's conclusion, a quiet settled, much like the calm before a tempest, as major media outlets and corporations prepared their reports. By the time dawn broke the following morning, the front pages had already declared their verdict.

THE TIMES — “93 AND COUNTING. IS THERE ANYTHING THIS BOY CANNOT DO?”

MARCA — “EL NIÑO ROMPE EL MUNDO” — The Boy Breaks The World

L’ÉQUIPE — “PLUS QUE MESSI.” — More Than Messi.

BILD — “WIR HABEN GERADE GESCHICHTE GESEHEN.” — We Just Watched History.

THE GUARDIAN — “Izan Hernandez Miura registered his 93rd goal of the calendar year last night. We are still in November. With nine matches remaining before the season concludes, we genuinely have no idea where this astonishing trajectory will end.”

THE ATHLETIC — “The hat-trick. The record. An 18-year-old phenomenon from obscurity has managed to make Messi’s greatest season appear less remarkable. How do we even begin to explain this?”

The video capturing his third goal, the one that propelled him to 93 goals – a delicate chip from the edge of the penalty area that caught the goalkeeper off his line, before gracefully kissing the underside of the crossbar and finding the net – had become the most-viewed video in Twitter’s history within just four hours of the final whistle, surpassing 26 million views and continuing its climb.

The Monday night panel on Sky Sports appeared unprepared for this unprecedented turn of events, and it was evident.

Gary Neville leaned back in his chair, the expression of a man who had exhausted his vocabulary, despite the fact that this outcome was somewhat anticipated after Izan reached the 90-goal mark.

“Another record I believed was untouchable, but it seems I must remove that word from my vocabulary when referring to that young man,” he remarked.

“I have observed Messi. I have watched Ronaldo. I witnessed their entire careers firsthand. And I am sitting here now, telling you, I still lack the words to describe what this kid is accomplishing.”

Roy Keane, true to form, was not one for excessive praise.

Yet, even he struggled to maintain his usual stern demeanor.

“A record is a record,” he stated plainly.

“Messi established it during one of the most exceptional individual seasons in football history. This boy has shattered it in November. With nine games still left to play.”

“Perhaps I can finally say I’ve witnessed everything,” he added, posing a rhetorical question.

Away from the studio's glare, the latest post from Izan’s Instagram account featured a simple image: him kneeling after scoring his third goal, arms outstretched, eyes closed, the indistinct roar of the away supporters a blur behind him. This post garnered forty-two million likes before midnight.

The caption consisted of three words.

Todo a Dios!

The comments section told a different story, filled with emojis, various languages, and flags from nations that do not even possess professional football leagues.

Each comment conveyed the same sentiment, albeit expressed uniquely.

However, it was the accounts that followed that truly illuminated the narrative.

@leomessi shared a photograph, an older one from 2012, of himself shortly after scoring his 91st goal, accompanied by a single caption:

“Era tuyo desde el principio, crack. Disfrútalo.”

It was always yours, kid. Enjoy it.

This post received 15 million likes within the first half-hour, and by the end of the day, its likes had more than quadrupled.

But it wasn't solely him.

@lamineyamal posted a picture of himself watching the match on his phone, seemingly from his living room, with a simple caption:

“Did we do the DNA test between Izan and Leo?”

@erling.haaland offered a typically concise yet humorous comment.

“93. 🤯 Buy him a planet.”

Then, midway through the day, Adidas made their move.

They released three images.

The first depicted a young Messi in 2012, wearing his Barcelona kit, in mid-celebration, seated upon a throne marked with the number 91.

The second image again featured Messi, but this time he was standing, removing the number from the throne’s head.

In the subsequent picture, a new figure emerged, occupying the throne. Dressed in his Arsenal white and red, with one arm resting on the side as if he belonged there eternally, was Izan.

The caption read:

“HIM-Possible does not exist.”

HIM. Hernandez. Izan. Miura.

And in a fitting testament to the record-shattering day, that post became the most shared brand advertisement in Instagram history by the following morning.

However, subsequent discussions turned to the question: “What lies ahead for Izan?”

Fortunately, this question was answered swiftly, as the remaining nine games of the year became a goal-scoring spectacle.

Initially, Arsenal, buoyed by their victory against Bayern, faced Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. However, the bridge seemed unable to contain the formidable 'Arsenal' that the North London club presented. By the time the final whistle blew, the scoreline left observers questioning reality, with some advocating for intervention.

“You can say whatever you want, but the boss lacks empathy at times,” Nwaneri remarked as the team approached the visiting supporters, offering them applause.

“Let's focus on the positives; our fans are thrilled,” Odegaard stated, his gaze drawn to the 7-1 score displayed on the scoreboard.

He then turned his attention back to Nwaneri, nodding subtly in a specific direction before continuing.

“Besides, I doubt the manager is our main concern when Izan was the one who entered from the bench and scored four goals!”

Upon hearing his name mentioned, Izan swiveled to face Odegaard, who followed up with another question.

“So, what’s the total count now?” Izan simply chuckled at the inquiry, then turned once more towards the cheering spectators.

“I’m merely fulfilling my contractual obligations,” he mumbled, though he found the phrasing slightly disagreeable as it left his lips.
