Straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster, Ryan Reynolds watches Wrexham give a thrilling performance

Ryan Reynolds, the Hollywood star, found himself on the edge of his seat as Wrexham, the club he co-owns with Rob McElhenney, pulled off an exhilarating draw in the fourth round of the FA Cup against Sheffield United. The atmosphere at the stadium was electric.

Famed for its surprised outcomes, the FA Cup is a tournament where teams from all levels of the football pyramid face off. Reynolds was thrilled to be a part of writing a new chapter in the club's history and even interacted with the fans ahead of the live ESPN broadcast in the United States.

With nearly ten thousand fans in attendance, Reynolds experienced an emotional rollercoaster as Wrexham came close to a historic win. The game began poorly for Wrexham, conceding a goal within the first two minutes.

Overwhelmed by the incredible atmosphere in the stadium, Wrexham regrouped in the second half and took the lead with a 2:1 advantage. The excitement among the fans grew, and hope that under the floodlights, football miracles could happen.

But as every football fan knows, the game is never over until the final whistle. Sheffield United, a promising contender for promotion to the Premier League, tied the game shortly after Wrexham's goal before having a player sent off.

With a commanding lead, Wrexham, the underdogs, seemed poised to advance to the fifth round until star striker Paul Mullin netted the final goal in the 86th minute. Reynolds cheered wildly, but the end of the game was like a Hollywood script.

Running Projects

Riding the wave of attention following their purchase of the club in 2021, Reynolds and McElhenney have claimed their intention to lead the Welsh team into the Premier League. Once a staple of England's Football League, Wrexham had been struggling in the fourth tier for over a decade.

The pair have already produced a TV series titled "Welcome to Wrexham," documenting their journey at the club, and with their continued support and investment, the team's results on the field have improved. Currently, Wrexham is leading its league and stands a strong chance of promotion to the second tier of English football.

Were Wrexham to successfully achieve another promotion, they would have three more chances to join the Premier League. But with a long road ahead, Reynolds and McElhenney seem satisfied with their progress so far, and the team's performance in this season's FA Cup seems to bode well for an exciting future.

"We're on our way up," McElhenney tweeted following the game.

Reynolds couldn't hide his emotions throughout the game, and he embraced friends and family before celebrating with the fans. But as every football fan knows, the sport can be brutal, and the game still had many twists and turns left.

Battling for promotion to the Premier League in the following season, Sheffield United worked their way back into the contest after Wrexham took the lead, only to suffer a setback when Daniel Jebison was sent off for a foul play without the ball. With a spectacular advantage, Wrexham appeared poised to secure a spot in the next round before Paul Mullin netted the winning goal in the 86th minute.

Reynolds celebrated Mullin's goal exuberantly, but like in a Hollywood script, things took a dramatic turn. Sheffield United equalized with less than a minute left to play, robbing Wrexham of a potentially memorable victory.

"That was one of the most exciting things I've ever seen," Reynolds tweeted after the game. "Thank you to all the Wrexham fans who put their hearts and souls into this game tonight."

The replay match is scheduled for February 7, 2023, at Sheffield United's Bramall Lane stadium, with the winner going on to face Tottenham Hotspur in the next round.
