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&rsquo;s CSKA Moscow 3 - 0 at Fu&szlig;ball Arena M&uuml;nchen.<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 />&ldquo;It was hard work. CSKA are a quality team with some good individual players. <br /><br />&ldquo;We knew that ahead of the game, but we focused on our own game rather than looking at our opponents,&rdquo; David Alaba told the official website of UEFA.<br /><br />Adding to his previous statement, the 21 - year - old said:<br /><br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;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 />&ldquo;We wanted to play attractive football and managed to do so.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t have to convince [Toni Kroos or Franck Rib&eacute;ry] to let me take the free-kick. <br /><br />&ldquo;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.&rdquo;<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 />
