Dave was announced as the man of the match at the end of the game and it was well deserved because if it had not been for the goalkeeper's brilliance throughout the game, his team would have most likely drawn this game or in the worst case scenario, they would have lost it.
He was in the locker room now with his teammates and had already seen his quest rewards and post-match rewards but he was still going through his system while sharing his thoughts with Catherine.

<You seem to have stretched the most consecutive clean sheet record from six to eighteen for the Bilbeth and now you've broken the record for the most consecutive clean sheet ever which is fourteen, I wonder who's going to break that>
'The main reason for setting or breaking records, so if no one is able to break then that checks out for me.' He replied. 'Anyway, my goal and assist record is looking pretty fine.'
<Yeah, seven goals and ten assists, but you're still not the goalkeeper with the most goals and assist or the two combined>
'I'm aware of that, and I'm working toward breaking that, a hundred and thirty-one goals is quite something but I'm sure I can surpass the assist.'
<Well, your career is still starting in its earliest stage so it is still very much possible but you'll have to start attempting more shots during the game, and convincing them to give you more free kicks will also help>
Despite being three points behind Supreme United now, Unique FC still had hope of getting past Supreme United with a lot of matches still left before the league comes to an end.
It would have been tough if Dynamo FC were also close but after drawing their match against Spree United on match day twenty-five, Dynamo FC were now six points behind Unique FC and nine points behind Supreme United.
Their next match was going to be against Spree City, the ones they just defeated now in the third round of the Bilbeth Super Cup.
Norman had a few comments to make on that after talking about the just concluded match.
He had to talk about how they struggled in this match and what they needed to fix in their cup game against them next week.
However, he didn't dive deep into that because that was supposed to be reserved for their next training session.
After that, he left the room to give the players the space they needed to do everything they needed to do before they would start heading home.
Dave along with Mateo were making their way out of the building together now, and they seemed to be talking about something as they made their way down the small steps.
"The round of sixteen draws is happening tonight, right?" Dave asked as the two stepped down from the last step.
"Yeah," Mateo responded with a nod.
"I still can't believe Lazio managed to turn things around against Wolfsburg, I thought the Bundesliga side were going to send them home but they proved me wrong."
"Yeah, I thought so too but I guess they underestimated Lazio coming into the second half."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe match between Lazio and Wolfsburg ended two goals to one in the favor of Wolfsburg in the first leg but Lazio managed to beat them three goals to one in the second after Wolfsburg managed to get the first goal against them.
Lazio were through to the round of sixteen now but they weren't going to be facing Unique FC again unless both teams make it to the finals.
"I wonder who we're going to get paired up against," Dave uttered before opening the door to his car.
"No idea, but whoever it is, I'm sure we'll be able to pull through." Mateo certified before opening the door to his car. "Say hi to Emma for me." He added before entering the car."
"I will." The goalkeeper replied.
It didn't take him long to get home, and when he entered the house, he didn't see anybody but he knew Emma was inside the kitchen just from the sweet aroma coming from inside there.
"Hey, babe, I'm home." He announced as he slowly made his way to the couch, and when he got there, he slowly dropped his backpack on it.
"Oh, hey."
As soon as he heard her voice, he quickly turned his gaze to the kitchen entrance to see her standing.
"Welcome home, honey."
"What are you making?"
"Why don't you guess?" She retorted before crossing her arms.
"Well, I can smell chicken and spice but I can't put together what you're making with those." He replied, hoping that she would tell him what it was.
"Hmm, well then you'll have to find out when I'm done, and don't forget to take a shower." She remarked before slowly disappearing into the kitchen.
Now that she was gone, Dave let out a sigh before he picked up the remote control and crashed down on the couch.
The television was already on so all he needed to do was change it to the right channel.
He was aware that the drawing ceremony had already started but the drawing process was already starting now.
There was a large table in the area and two pots on both sides with a man on one end and a woman on the other end.
The man was the first to draw from his pot, and after bringing out his slip and revealing it, it turned out to be Lyon, one of the teams that dropped out of the Europa League.
"So, who will Lyon be facing in the round of sixteen?" The female host commented. "Melina's your turn."
"Okay, let's see." The lady at the other end uttered before dipping her hand into the pot to draw a slip. "And it's…."
She revealed the team before saying the name, and as soon as Dave saw it, his jaws dropped.
"Unique FC, looks like Lyon will be facing off against Unique FC in the round of sixteen."
"You have to be kidding," Dave muttered with a horrid look on his face before slowly sinking into the couch.
<Looks like you guys got the big shots>
Lyon dropped out of the Europa League and had to face Dynamo Kyiv to qualify for the round of sixteen.
Well, they didn't take things easy with them, beating them eight goals to nothing in the first leg and going on to beat them six goals to one in the second leg, they completely destroyed Dynamo Kyiv.
Looking at both of those score lines Dave's reaction to getting drawn against them was sort of justified.
