The game intensified.
Eintracht Frankfurt, realizing Bayern's young substitute wasn't intimidated, tried to press harder.
But Mateo didn't flinch.
He danced around challenges,shielded the ball with precision,and moved with a flow that reminded everyone — even the veterans — why Bayern had placed so much faith in him.
Another clean pass.Then another.
The System chimed silently:
[Pass 8/10 Completed.][Pass 9/10 Completed.]
Almost there.
Near the 75th minute, Mateo received the ball on the right wing.
He faced two defenders closing him down.
The world seemed to slow for a heartbeat.
Without thinking, his body moved:
A feint to the left.
A sudden cut inside.
A burst of acceleration that split the defenders.
The crowd gasped.
He was through.
He charged down the flank, scanning the field.
Harry Kane was making a run into the box —timing it perfectly, ghosting between two defenders.
Mateo didn't hesitate.
He swung his foot back and delivered a curling cross,spinning beautifully toward the penalty spot.
Kane met the ball with a crushing header.
The net bulged.
Goal!
The Allianz Arena erupted.
Teammates rushed to embrace Kane — and then Mateo.
Thomas Müller grabbed him by the shoulders, shouting over the noise:
"Was für ein Pass, Junge!" (What a pass, kid!)
Musiala hugged him from behind.
The scoreboard flashed:
Bayern Munich 2 - 0 Eintracht Frankfurt
Inside Mateo's mind, the System exploded with notifications:

Mateo's heart pounded with exhilaration.
This wasn't a dream anymore.
This was real.
This was his story being written.
From the VIP box, his mother wiped away tears,his grandparents hugged each other tightly,and Klara, beaming brighter than ever, clapped with all her might.
In Germany's football world — and even across Europe — whispers started to rise.
"Who is this Mateo González?""Bayern's new star?""The phoenix rises."
As the final minutes ticked down, Mateo kept playing with fire in his veins and ice in his mind.
Tackling when needed.Recovering possession.Making the smart passes, not the flashy ones.
Showing he wasn't just a prodigy —he was a player ready for war at the highest level.
When the final whistle blew,Bayern had won.
