At the point when you leave [for] the first run through and you hear the Champions League melody playing, it’s enormous. There are no words [that can] portray [it]. I feel extremely, grateful to have this life, and to continually [be ready to experience] this inclination.

“It’s quite mind blowing [to be in the last briefly progressive season with an alternate club]. On the off chance that anyone would have advised me at Christmas, I don’t know whether I would have accepted or snickered about it.
