- 21 September 2015
I'm a 23 y/o from Malta, just started this long-term Become A Legend mode months ago.
Started also as a 23 y/o CAM/CM from Malta.
International Caps : 50
International Goals : 24
My career was initiated in Turkey with Trabzonspor in season 20/21 where I've only spent six months there, being involved in 16 matches and scoring a total of 7 goals.
Watford (from Championship) came knocking the door for me and I couldn't say no. It was a great opportunity to get my name out there in England.
In Watford I've spent a very difficult year, first six months in the Championship and then the other six months in the Premier League. We won promotion by finishing the season 2nd to Bournemouth. During these 12 months I was involved in 35 matches, scoring 11 goals.
In January 2022, after six months in the Premier League where we were pretty much fighting for relegation, I've received an offer from Atalanta B.C. in Serie A.
I started off with a bang when I scored a hat-trick in my debut against F.C. Internazionale in a 0-4 win at the Giuzeppe Meazza Stadium. It wasn't the season we wanted but at least we finished 5th, claiming our spot in the Europa League.
In January 2023, after a year in Italy, I've asked my agent to request a transfer away from Atalanta B.C. due to not being a fan of the coach's attacking mentality of long balls.
So after being involved in 40 matches, scoring 14 goals I've signed with Borussia Dortmund in Bundesliga. I've spent another 12 months there were we got Eliminated from the Europa League by FC Girondins de Bordeaux 4-3 on aggregate and lost the DFB Pokal to FC Augsburg but on the bright sight we won the Bundesliga which was my first league title. The following season we went out for revenge and took the DFL Super Cup with a payback win on FC Augsburg. I debuted in the UEFA Champions League by playing in the group stages with BVB.
In January 2024, after twelve months in Germany were I played 40 matches and scored 13 goals I was offered a contract with Chelsea in the Premier League. You can say that until then Chelsea was my favorite experience yet. The gaffer put me in the starting line up immediately but for the first time ever not as a CAM but as a CM. I was having the time of my life assisting goals and stopping them too. After two months I've got injured by Fernandinho from Arsenal for four months. I was gutted to loose the remainder of the season where I watched from the stands my team mates loosing the FA Cup to Manchester City and finishing 3rd place in the league. I've decided to stay and go again next season since I was really having fun before the injury. We went up to the UEFA Champions League semi finals but only to get knocked out by Real Madrid 3-2 on aggregate. We finished 6th in the league which was very disappointing for all of us.
In July 2025, I've decided to leave because I wanted to go elsewhere to win some trophies. After being involved in 30 matches, scoring 19 goals and 11 assists I've signed for a new adventure back in Italy with A.C. Milan. They had finished in 2nd place so the league title was our main objective. During this season we've got knocked out from the UEFA Champions League Quarter Finals against Paris Saint German 4-2 on aggregate but we bounced back by winning the Coppa Italia 4-2 against S.S.C. Napoli after eliminating Juventus 4-1 on aggregate. Our main objective turned into reality as we clinched the Scudetto over our historical rivals F.C. Internazionale with a difference of 4 points. I was also named in the Team of the Season as the best CAM in the league. I've started next season's pre-season with A.C. Milan where we took part and won the International Champions Cup in Asia. We've also had the Supercoppa Italiana final at the beginning of the season where we've got beaten 5-1 against S.S.C. Napoli.To top this experience with A.C. Milan, I've unexpectedly won Europe Best Player award.
In August 2026, I've got an offer from FC Bayern München. They had just won the league but since I spent my pre-season at A.C. Milan I couldn't take part in their DFL Super Cup Final. I've came across my former club Borussia Dortmund but with no hesitation I've scored a brace in a 5-0 victory. Unfortunately I was sidelined again for three months between December and March and when I returned to action, we secured the Bundesliga title in April. We got drawn with Juventus in the semi's of the UCL. I've scored one of the two goals we put past Juventus to secure our spot in the UEFA Champions League Final against Real Madrid. My first time reaching this stage! For the second season in a row I was named in the Team of the Season. The UCL Final was a total chaos to say the least, with a balanced first 60 minutes in which the result was 1-1. Fabio Silva put Real Madrid 2-1 up in the 62nd minute while William Saliba scored the 2-2 in the 84th minute. The match went to extra-time when Nordin Amrabat scored instantly at the 93rd minute to put Real Madrid 3-2 up.
Just before the break Fabio Silva puts another one past Manuel Neuer to make it 4-2. In the 121st minute I've scored a consolation goal to make the result 4-3. We were all devastated but that's football at the end of the day.
In August 2027, Manchester United stepped up with an offer for me and with a half hearted (because of my history with Chelsea) I accepted and it turned out to be the best decision of my career. In my first season with them we've finished 5th in the league but we managed to win the FA Cup against Wolves and the UEFA Champions League against Chelsea with a 8-1 victory. It was my first time as a European Champion and it was executed in style with a hat-trick. At 31 years old I got offers from Everton, Borussia Dortmund, Rangers and Gent at the end of the season but I declined them to stay at Manchester United and play in the Super Cups and the FIFA Club World Cup.
In the second season we started off brilliantly by winning the UEFA Super Cup 4-0 against Porto and then the FA Community Shield 2-1 against Liverpool. In December, after winning the FIFA Club World Cup against Flamengo, Brandon Rodgers offered me a contract with Leicester City but I declined considering we were title contenders and still in the UCL. Fast forward till May, we reached the final of the FA Cup once again by knocking out Liverpool with penalties after a 3-3 draw. We went on to win it against Wolves for the second time in a row. The title campaign was over and we finished 2nd just three points below Manchester City but he had a UEFA Champions League Final left to play against Liverpool. I finished Top Scorer of the League with 23 goals while being named in the Team of the Season once again. During the final, Antony for Liverpool opened the score in the 39th minute and it was fair to say that Liverpool were looking like they were going to win it until Ferriggi levelled the score in the 85th minute. Ferriggi was given the captain's armband for the remaining 30 minutes of extra time and he did not let his manager down when he assisted to Marcus Rashford for the winning goal in the 94th minute to successfully defend the UEFA Champions League title. Emotions were all over the place for all players especially for the 32 year old me.
In August 2029 - Which is the present, today 29th May 2021.
I felt that destiny doesn't want me to win the Premier League in my career as a player, hopefully I'll be able to clinch it as a manager after I retire.
After two years here where I played 110 matches and scored 70 goals I spoke to the club and let them know that I was going to leave this summer. I've got offers from Celtic, RB Leipzig and Juventus. Considering that Juventus are my favorite club in real life, I thought it would be wise to choose them and put them back were they belong since in 2029 they finished 7th in the league. So no European football for me next season for sure but I've won the big one twice in a row so I cannot complain. I have a few years left to play and would like to spend it with Juventus and maybe retire here after helping the team get back to its feet.
I shall be updating this on weekly basis. The idea is to start a ML with myself right after I retire from the BAL.
Thanks guys.
