The UEFA Europa League was a star-studded affair at dawn on Wednesday, with past champions Real Madrid coming out on top, winning 3-1 at home to Stega, and 18-year-old starlet Andy Calendar taking the spotlight as he tied the knot. His solo show started from the back of the net, and he skillfully carried the ball, drove in, and shot into the corner of the net. This was not only his first goal for the Brazilian national team in the Europa League, but also a new milestone in his career. His performance won the praise of coach Antsarotti and showed his bravery and determination.
Real Madrid midfielder Zudibinimhan returned from injury and made his debut in this game, but the first half of the "Galaxy Fleet" performance was mediocre, Stega counterattacked and attacked quite threatening, including a wonderful shot by Ansel Milot, which was magically pounced on by the goalkeeper, Tybalt Tulls. Stega's offense came in waves, and Denis Udav's long-distance shot had a very high bounce and almost broke the net, but fortunately, the goal line made a good save. Real Madrid were temporarily underdogs in the first half, but were lucky.
The changeover saw Real Madrid's form turn around as Killian McBarbie quickly lit the attacking fire. Stega equalized with a header from Denis Udav from a corner kick. However, the "Galacticos" were able to control the ball well, and Rudiger took the lead from a corner kick.
Andy Calendar came on as a substitute after 80 minutes and quickly seized the opportunity to prove his worth, helping his team consolidate their advantage in just five minutes. After a close battle, he broke through and fired a shot from outside the box to seal the 3-1 win. 18 years and 58 days old, he broke the record held by Rohr and became the youngest UEFA player in Real Madrid's history.
After the match, Antsarotti was full of praise for Andriy: "He was brave, confident, bold in his shots, and although he handled them in a slightly complicated manner, he was extremely effective." This season, despite his limited playing time, he has already scored two goals for Real Madrid, which is remarkable for its efficiency.
It's worth noting that Andy's girlfriend Gabriely is also quite precocious, showing her precociousness both on and off the court.
