I stepped up to take the penalty, the last one and the score was 1-1 and 3-3 in penalties I had the chance to win the Champions League, my lifetime dream. I set the ball down on the spot and backed up waiting for the referee's signal then the whistle blew and I ran towards the ball.

“You take it Johnny” coach yelled. This was it, I thought to myself, the chance to be champions. Are team had been 2 goals down but we came back, and now it was tied 2-2 in penalties in the State Cup final. I walked up placed the ball down on the spot and stepped back then I heard it and stormed towards the ball and hit it then all I could hear was the sound of the crossbar rattling. I had missed right off the bar and the next shot they had scored. We had lost the championship.

As I hit the ball I had known that this was the one but then all I heard was the sound of the crossbar but this time it had gone off the bar and in!, we were world champions.
