Pitch Invasion 030: “The Emperor’s New Road”

“Where next?

Among others, I’ve ruled at Juve and run riot in Paris,

I’ve had a stint when I was king at Inter:

But my trophy cabinet, though it heaves

Still lacks a Champions League.”

He gazes out, towards stage right,

Towards the exit road:

And where this emperor will roam

Only his ego knows.
