Alisson Santos confessed to having fulfilled a dream after scoring and receiving the man of the match award in the Sporting - Marseille game, which the lions won 2-1. The Brazilian winger spoke to Sporttv microphones at the end of the third round match of the Champions League group stage.

"Yes, I am very happy to have scored the goal and helped the team with the victory, it was very important to win, we needed it, we will continue like this. It means a dream come true for me, I always dreamed of this, I worked hard to get here, to play in the biggest competition in the world and help my team," Alisson Santos began to explain.

The Sporting winger continued: "We started behind in the game, but with the support of the fans, we found strength. Also mentally, the coach talked a lot with us at halftime, gave us strength, we knew we had the quality for it and we succeeded. It means a lot to us, it is very important to win. We are taking it game by game, now we have the championship. But we want to qualify and we are working towards that."

Also speaking to the journalists was Morten Hjulmand, the green and white captain: "Great night, getting three points against a great opponent like Marseille. We saw their quality when it was 11 against 11, and we are very happy."

"I think we showed good attitude in the first half, tactically we were prepared, we suffered in transition, it can happen. But the attitude of those who came in helped us achieve the victory (...) It's hard to say. We still need many points to advance to the next round, but that is our goal," concluded Morten Hjulmand, about the lions' possibilities in the Champions League.
