Ryan Reynolds (50), the main character of the movie "Deadfall" and the owner of the English professional football Wrexham AFC, expressed intense emotion with "Giant Killing."

Wrexham won the penalty shootout 4-3 after drawing 3-3 regular time against Nottingham Forest in the third round of the FA Cup (round 64) at the Stock Race Course in Wrexham, England on the 10th (Korea time).

Wrexham's move to the fourth round of the tournament (the round of 32). In addition, it is the first time in 27 years that Wrexham beat a first-division team in an official tournament since 1999. On the other hand, Nottingham, which is struggling to stay in 17th place in the English Premier League (EPL), lost its pride by being caught by Wrexham.

The victory or defeat of the two teams, which had a fierce neck-and-neck race, was determined in the penalty shootout. Wrexham's four kickers were all successful, but Nottingham's two and five kickers were blocked by goalkeeper Arthur Okonko, ending a long game for Wrexham.

Wrexham, which has not been in the spotlight for more than 150 years since its foundation in 1864, has been writing a miraculous history in recent years. Reynolds and Rob McIlheny's acquisition of the club for just $2.5 million (about 3.6 billion won) in 2020 was a turning point.

With the victory of the fifth division (National League) in 2023, he achieved the feat of "promotion for three consecutive seasons" and even took the stage of the second division, the Championship.

What's more surprising is the competitiveness in this season's championship. The promotion team usually aims to stay, but Wrexham is at the center of the competition for promotion to the EPL. Until the 26th round of this season, Wrexham has 40 points (10 wins, 10 draws and 6 losses), six points shorter than second-place Middlesbrough (46 points), which is given a direct ticket to promotion.

After the victory, Reynolds said on his social media (SNS), "I don't know if there is a medical term to describe my condition right now," adding, "My voice has already been lost, and my organs are not functioning properly. Wrexham, you are the saviors who came to ruin my life," he said, expressing his delight with his unique humor.

Co-owner McIlheny also shared a screenshot of the video call with Reynolds, saying, "I don't know if we're crying or laughing right now. "I'll ring all the pub golden bells in Wrexham tonight," he said, signaling a "beer party."
