@FootynewsEric De Gracia just lived out the kind of ending you script in your head as a kid. UE Cornellà vs Manchester City at the Messi Cup, third round, and he pops up in the closing minutes to apparently grab the winner. Then comes the part that gets you: instead of running off to celebrate, he heads straight for Lionel Messi to dedicate the goal to the idol himself. Named best footballer of the match too, and Messi responds with a smile and a congratulation for the performance. Scoring a late winner, taking the match honor, and having your hero acknowledge it? That is THE TRUE DREAM OF THE BOY, no other way to put it.
