This was their second international title, which gave them the opportunity to play the Recopa against the Copa Libertadores champion, Paraguayan club Olimpia. In the 2003 Recopa played in Los Angeles, United States, San Lorenzo lost to Olimpia 2-0 and finished runner-up. Foe died while playing for Cameroon during the 2003 Confederations Cup in France, while Muamba needed CPR in 2012 when he collapsed in a match between Bolton and Tottenham at White Hart Lane in north London. They knew he was special, but they did not know – could not know – quite how far his talent would take him: a French champion, the world’s second-most expensive player and the spearhead of France’s attempts to reclaim the World Cup this summer, all while still a teenager.
