Nico Williams: “I wouldn’t have got there even in a thousand lives” without Molina’s push in Torres’ goal
Athletic Bilbao
In an interview, Nico Williams revealed the behind-the-scenes story of the move that led to the winning goal in the World Cup final, with the ball played back into the centre of the box for Ferran Torres. According to the Athletic Bilbao forward, the decisive moment was Nahuel Molina’s push, which hit him with both arms as the ball was coming down, and without which he would not have reached the ball: “I wouldn’t have got there even in a thousand lives.” When he saw the ball coming, he thought he would not be able to reach it, but after the push he realised he could. With no time to shoot at goal, he decided to leave it, and Torres was in the right place.
