Worst call in poker ever, HU in MTT

This is one of the worst decisions I've ever made on a river.

Clearly top pair was never any good here. The timebar was at almost at 0, is there ever any justification for calling this massive over bet?

Literally, the time bar was going and I was thinking fold, and at the last second I called.

    I'm a City fan. I shower in champagne.

    Erm I might have misread the board, but yes this can never be a call really. Intrigued to know what swayed you into calling...

    It was 4 hours into the game, quite intensive ft, I levelled myself into thinking it was an overbet bluff for a nice pot heads up.

    That was a bit of silliness on my part! This was never a bluff here. Fatigue is the best answer I suppose lol I was 1 minute from the break as well.
