And the best part, everybody acknowledged and agreed with that fact I was the one who made it happen mostly.

*** And there you go folks! Malaga is the winners of 2013-2014 La Liga ! I have never thought I would write this far when I started this fic on a whim. It's been a mixed journey, kinda like Adriano, with lots of supporters cheering on, and so haters trying to hold back.
I am thankful to all of you. I tried my best to capture a footballer's journey as real as possible while keeping the fiction in check, and I hope I have achieved at least 80% of that. I will try to improve further as I go on. Next chapter you will get a surprise with the system and 3rd template, look forward to it!
And Like Adriano said, "This one's for you all!" ***
