Trubin recalls epic goal in Benfica v Real Madrid: the moment I scored... | OneFootball

Trubin's historic goal against Real Madrid at the Luz (4-2), in the last match of the UEFA Champions League league phase, continues to attract a lot of attention in Ukraine, with the Benfica goalkeeper proudly recalling that moment.

"Perhaps there won’t be a moment like this anywhere in the world for 100 years. The moment I scored, I just ran", stressed the No. 1, as quoted by the outlet 'Tribuna', recalling the "paradox" in relation to his role.

"You work from the age of six to make saves. Then, you score and the whole world remembers how you scored, not how you made saves", Trubin said, highlighting that very difference in the way everyone reacted to that moment.

However, the goalkeeper also made a point of recalling the rollercoaster of emotions that week gave him: he was on a high and, just a few days later, disappointment arrived. "On Wednesday, you beat Real Madrid. On Sunday, you draw against Tondela and immediately hit rock bottom", he concluded.

It should be remembered that, after recalling this happy memory, the Ukraine national team lost 3-1 to Sweden in the qualification play-off for the 2026 World Cup. Anatoliy Trubin was unfortunately the worst player on the pitch, according to the ratings given by 'Sofascore' (5.7).
