I was there—not as a fan, but as a philosopher with a basketball soul. The 2002 Champions League final wasn’t just about goals; it was geometry in motion. Zidane’s volley wasn’t a strike, it was an equation solved in midair. I saw how data became poetry, and how pain turned into legacy. This isn’t sports history—it’s emotional architecture written in sweat and silence. A man who dribbles through stats doesn't just watch—he feels the weight of every pass.
