These events are the result of the continuation of time, no matter whether it is decades or minutes.

Time – in the world of football – conjures and cements relationships between clubs and fans, allowing new generations to form an intense bond with the planet’s most thrilling and beautiful sport. However, just as the night smothers the day, the game’s immediate future shall inevitably be, in many years to come, shadowed with doubt.
