Pepe?

by Vibe Tue Jul 25, 2023 6:39 am

Thiago Alcantara hmm

by Warrior Tue Jul 25, 2023 11:46 am

Not Pepe, not Thiago

Laporte maybe, there was some controversy regarding his nationality and I know he didn't play against Inter, not sure if it means came on as a sub or what.

As for the sky I guess City's jersey colour.

by Warrior Tue Jul 25, 2023 12:05 pm

Not Laporte

The player we are looking for is long forgotten by most people. But i am sure everybody on the forum knows him.

by Vibe Tue Jul 25, 2023 12:16 pm

Nice riddle though, decent poetry as well.

My next guess is Thiago Motta. He technically won from the bench, after he was sent off in the semis after Busquets peek a boo.

Have no idea how the sky relates to him though, probably not him.

nice poetry indeed, honestly the sky line is throwing me off so much because the only thing it makes me think of is Man City, as in the Sky Blues (their nickname). And of course Man City only now won the CL.

by Warrior Tue Jul 25, 2023 7:41 pm

Not Motta. In fact no one has been even close so far.

I suggest to take that clue about the sky from a more scientific stance.

Anatoly Tymoschuk?

Great riddle tbh. I still don't understand the sky part though.

by Warrior Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:31 pm

Tymoshchuk played for and is currently coaching Zenit

Spoiler:

Zenit is also a series of rockets built in USSR

Sad fact Tymoshchuk is a legend for Ukraine national team (144 games) but he was recently stripped of every accolade and palmares he ever had and revoked as his coaching license. They try to erase him from history because he chose to remain at Zenit after Putin invaded Ukraine. I read some article about that the other day and found the way he was treated is very wack, that's how remember his existence.

Played for Bayern mostly as sub and won CL. Legend at Shakhtar and Zenit with whom he won EL so there's that.

by Vibe Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:35 pm

GTFO

I always thought Zenith meant something like a peak or similar.

Gave you a pass with part 2 tbh

I think El G does poetry in his spare time scratch

shoot us your best lines bud !!

okay, here's one...

Once upon a time, I was a Golden Boy
First impressions matter, had that flair
A couple of nets I did destroy
Before being confined to the wheelchair

by Warrior Tue Jul 25, 2023 11:59 pm

The croatian Eduardo ?

by Vibe Wed Jul 26, 2023 8:43 am

Kyrie Irving?

Was a golden boy, had flair, destroyed the Nets

Not really, I solved it before I saw you edited that in :coffee:

by El Gunner Wed Jul 26, 2023 10:23 am

lmao great guesses, but no

by Vibe Wed Jul 26, 2023 11:12 am

Alexandre Pato

by El Gunner Wed Jul 26, 2023 12:18 pm

ditto

i knew that would be easy:
- won the Golden Boy award in 2009
- had a tendency for scoring on his debuts at both club and international level, obviously had Brazilian flair
- had a strong striking technique to him as well
- injuries derailed his development

by El Gunner Wed Jul 26, 2023 12:28 pm

here's a harder one (i think):

I too had flair, but I'm not Brazilian
My first touch is your favourite player's dream
See me and you might think I'm Reptilian
Captained my national team
