David Alaba : The Champions League Is Always Something Special
Bayern Munich wing-back David Alaba has commented on the European champions opening Champions League clash in which they defeated Ahmed Musa’s CSKA Moscow 3 - 0 at Fußball Arena München.<br /><br />The Austria international , who has a Nigerian father, opened scoring for Bayern Munich with a stunning free-kick goal after 4 minutes.<br /><br />“It was hard work. CSKA are a quality team with some good individual players. <br /><br />“We knew that ahead of the game, but we focused on our own game rather than looking at our opponents,” David Alaba told the official website of UEFA.<br /><br />Adding to his previous statement, the 21 - year - old said:<br /><br />“It’s a dream for any footballer to play at this level. The Champions League is always something special and we saw that out on the pitch. <br /><br />“We wanted to play attractive football and managed to do so.”<br /><br />“I didn’t have to convince [Toni Kroos or Franck Ribéry] to let me take the free-kick. <br /><br />“It was a bit too far out for Toni and so I gave it a go. It always feels great to score a goal, everyone knows that.”<br /><br />David Alaba is credited with the seventh fastest goal in the UEFA Champions League which he netted against Juventus in April 2013.<br /><br />Photo Credit: uefa.com<br />
