Second Half – A Different Beast
Jake had barely taken his seat when he saw Real Madrid's bench spring into action.
Carlo Ancelotti wasn't playing around.
He wasn't just making adjustments. He was changing the entire game.
Madrid made nine substitutions at halftime, bringing on some of the most dangerous players in world football.
As each name was called, Jake exhaled. This wasn't just a tactical reshuffle—this was Madrid at full power.

Jake leaned back, crossing his arms.
Paul Roberts, sitting beside him, let out a low whistle. "It's like they hit a reset button."
And it felt like that.
