Thanks to his stoppage-time goal against Real Madrid (4-2), goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin sent Benfica Lisbon into the Champions League play-offs ahead of OM. The keeper shared what that unforgettable moment was like.

"Before the play, I didn’t really understand what we needed. Tomas Araujo and Antonio Silva were saying 'one more, one more.' And I was like, 'what?' But then I saw everyone telling me to go up. I saw the coach too, so I went, I got into the box and I don’t know what to say... It was a crazy moment. I really don’t know what to say. I’m not used to scoring. I’m 24 years old and this was the first time. It’s unbelievable," the Ukrainian keeper said in the mixed zone.
