Anthony Gordon

The Azteca Stadium was still buzzing with a mix of emotions. England had beaten Mexico 3-2 in an intense match, full of grit and drama. The English were celebrating euphorically on the field, but Anthony Gordon had barely celebrated the final whistle.

Wearing a white jersey soaked with sweat, number 18 on the back, and with his blond hair plastered to his forehead, he walked straight toward the VIP stands, ignoring his teammates who were calling after him. His blue eyes searched for just one person in the Mexican crowd.

—I came straight here because I didn't want to wait another minute to tell you I'm sorry. I love you… and I hate that I made you feel this way.
