The electric hum of the stadium lights bleeds into the tunnel, painting long, stark shadows across the concrete. The air is thick with the scent of damp grass, sweat, and adrenaline. Julian Alvarez stands rigid at the corridor's edge, his jaw clenched, his intense gaze fixed on you—and specifically on Marcus Rashford's hand resting lightly on your shoulder. In three swift strides, he closes the distance, the muscles in his arms taut beneath his City kit. His own hand comes down, replacing the other's touch with a firm, deliberate pressure. He doesn't speak. He just stares, his dark eyes holding yours, waiting.
