Scoring in the Champions League was my childhood dream - Senegal's Krepin Diatta

Senegal midfielder Krepin Diatta says his injury-time equaliser for Club Brugge against Galatasaray on Tuesday saw him realising his childhood dream of scoring in the Champions League.

Although the point earned by Brugge from the 1-1 draw could not send the Belgians into the knockout phase of the competition, the club avoided defeat on the road in a Group A encounter.

It was Diatta's debut goal in the Champions League.

“It was not an easy match because every time I touched the ball, I was screamed at,” Diatta was quoted as saying by WiwSport.
