Wilfried Zaha happy to be playing in the UEFA CL
Ivorian winger Wilfried Zaha played a part in Galatasaray's 2-3 victory over Manchester United, his former club, by showing his team the way with the 1st goal scored. Asked by TNT whether his first experience of this competition had lived up to his expectations, Zaha said: "It literally has.
The player tried to explain the special feeling that comes over a footballer playing in this competition: "It's not just the game, it's the preparation. When we drove here in the coach, we played Champions League music - it's a different feeling. I've finally arrived here. There's nothing like it. It's a game between the best and a chance to show my talent among the best.
Finally, the former Crystal Palace man sees the opportunity to play in the Champions League as the best barometer for convincing others of his real talent. "I have the impression that this is where people decide whether you're good or not, so days like today are the ones that count for me".
Gods timing is the best timing! Live for these moments especially @championsleague nights ! So proud of the boys today ❤️💛 pic.twitter.com/VUEFPGrLC0
