O11CE: New Generation (O11CE: Nueva generación)

Welcome to another Champions League night.

A packed stadium, fantastic!

The atmosphere is electric.

Today, facing each other,

Atlético Madrid and Benfica! Atlético need to...

Benfica have already qualified.

If Atlético want to qualify

directly for the top eight, they must win or at least draw.

And, as expected,

Atlético count on the presence of their star...

the number ten, the man who has brought so much joy to the Colchoneros.

Atlético Madrid...

The match is about to begin.

How a golden trophy can bring so much joy.

This is a football celebration.

It’s Champions League night!

Corner for Benfica. The keeper clears it.

Who intercepts? Gabo Moretti, number ten!

He pushes up to midfield. Beats one man.

Atlético Madrid on the counter, with Gabo.

He can’t miss this. Beats another!

One-on-one with the keeper. He’s going to finish, Gabo Moretti.

The number ten dribbles past the keeper! Gabo...

Goal!

Goal!

Goal! What a goal!

Goal!

What a goal! Come on, goal!

Atlético have pulled one back,

but the score is still

Benfica two, Atlético one. Just one goal behind.

If Atlético want to qualify for the top eight,

at the very least, they need a draw.

Is there time for that?

What does our special guest think?

Joaco, with Gabo on the field, anything can happen, right?

That’s right, Kun, but if the score doesn’t change,

Atlético will go straight to the knockout stage.

One thing is certain: we’re in for a thrilling finish.

Joaco, Kun, look at how the number ten is firing up his teammates.

The Colchoneros fans are starting to believe again.

We’re headed for an electric finish.

Benfica restart from midfield, and we’re back underway.

Gael! Gael Cervantes!

Gael!

Come here, move. Hurry!

The ball is with Gabo Moretti, who slips away.

A magician. And he plays at pace.

What will the number ten do? Gabo’s going to shoot. No.

He lays it off to a teammate. He shoots. No!

-The keeper saves! -

It’s fine! You’re going in now! Move, come on!

What a chance. Gabo was unselfish.

Why did he pass it? If he shoots, that’s a goal for sure.

Maybe the striker was in a better position.

Are we discussing the match, or making the tacos?

- No. - The tacos, the tacos.

Throw-in for Atlético Madrid.

First-time ball to Gabo Moretti. And the number ten brings it down, no!

Benfica’s defender cuts it out. Watch the counter, guys.

Atlético’s key man looks frustrated.

What are they saying? What are they shouting?

Gabo! Gabo! Gabo!

Listen, Joaco, how long has Gabo been at Atlético?

Six years, my dear Kun.

From Álamo Seco to the IAD, and from the IAD to Atlético Madrid.

Last year, he was the top scorer, right?

In the last two.

Gabo was top scorer in the last two championships he won.

Not just the last one.

Palomo’s right, he was top scorer

in the last two championships he won, not just the last one.

I told you! See?

And he’s already won a Copa del Rey, two La Liga titles,

and now he’s playing in the Champions League.

That trophy isn’t easy to win.

I played a final once and lost. I know what it’s like.

This year he’ll win it. A draw is enough. Come on!

There will be five minutes of stoppage time.

Five minutes for Atlético fans to believe.

Look at the crowd backing Gabo!

It’s a tsunami of support for the number ten!

And look, Kun, Palomo, look who’s there.

Look what the director found, what a gem. Ricky Flores and André "Dedé" Duarte,

Gabo’s friends and his teammates from the Hawks.

Ricky and Dedé?

They played with him, just like I did!

Well, I didn’t play, but I’m supporting him now,

and I supported him before too!

-And you live it all here... -I can’t believe it. Did you see?

Look, Ricky and Dedé studied with Gabo Moretti at the IAD.

-And Dedé was signed by Lazio... - By Lazio, yes.

He struggled with the language and moved to Porto,

where he became champion.

And Ricky played for PSV, Lyon, Sparta Prague, and now he’s at Bologna.

That’s right.

You’ve told me that so many times I feel like I know them personally.

Can we focus on the tacos, please?

- Oh... - I want another goal!

Let it rain talent, and nothing else!

Here come the Portuguese side. They shoot!

Off the crossbar! Atlético survive!

The defender hits it, and it drops to Gabo Moretti.

He cushions it on his chest and flicks it over Benfica’s number eleven.

And he surges forward. Here goes Gabo.

-Also known as MaGabo. -Come on, Gabo!

He wants a goal.

He wants to dribble past Benfica’s last defenders.

He passes one, he passes two.

More magic from MaGabo!

- No! - Foul at the edge of the box.

That’s a red, ref!

You could see that foul from China. Send him off!

No! No! Not a yellow, ref!

Red! That was a straight foul! How is it not?

But hold on. Gabo’s in a lot of pain.

Yeah, looks like that same old ankle.

Yeah, Kun.

And an entire country is suffering,

because this injury could keep him out of the national team call-up.

And the World Cup is so close.

Come on, Gabo.

Joaco, don’t jinx it. Please!

Yeah, Kun. It’s true. Positivity... Positivity...

What matters now is whether Moretti

is fit enough to take this free kick.

And let’s remember he’s the player in Europe

with the most set-piece goals this season.

Gabo is talking to the medical staff.

He’s waved them away, so get ready,

because it looks like he’s going to stay on. Yes, yes.

Gabo is staying on the field.

Atlético can breathe again!

Come on, Gabo, my friend!

It’s Amelia’s food, pure magic!

If you’re ever in Álamo Seco, stop by Amelia’s bakery.

This is the last play of the match.

Gabo Moretti places the ball on the grass.

What is the number ten thinking?

Goal!

Goal!

Goal!

Goal!

Goal!

What a goal, Mom!

Atlético Madrid, two...

- What a goal. - ...Benfica, two.

And Gabo Moretti secures Atlético’s qualification!

- -That’s it! Full time!

A heroic comeback by Atlético!

Brush, wand... Qualification, baby.

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Gabo! Please!

Gabo, ESPN. Mariano and Diego are listening.

Hi, guys!

Dear Gabo, what a beautiful match today! Congratulations.

Thank you, thank you.

Did you ever imagine you’d be here one day?

Well... we’ve been fighting for this for six years,

so I’m really happy for the team, for the coaching staff,

and, well, honestly, I think I owe everything

to the IAD and the Golden Hawks.

Your high school team, right?

- That’s right. -And now you’ll get some rest?

Yes, yes. Good thing we have a month off.

Well, you need to rest and get ready.

You’ve got some very tough matches ahead, and they’ll demand a lot from you.

And, well, since I’m here, I’ll take the chance to say thank you.

Thank you, Mariano and Diego, for always supporting me.

No, thank you.

Thank you for your incredible magic in every match.

We truly admire you, Gabo.

Thank you, thank you.

For "Joaco Sport"!

Gabo!

Bro!

And it rained talent and nothing else, my friend.

Congratulations. You put on a soccer masterclass.

Thanks. The important thing is I was able to help my team.

No one plays alone here.

There are eleven of us on the field, but many more off it:

coaches, kit staff, medical staff.

We all want the same thing,

and I think we’re ready to give everything for it.

We’re a very tight-knit group.

That’s it, man! You nailed it!

Gabo’s the best! Let’s go!

Thank you, thank you.

Listen, Gabo. A friend of mine wants to say hi.

Hey, Gabo!
