Zalayeta: "What a night.. it still thrills me!"
Dear supporters,
I’m writing you a few hours after the win over Real. I don’t think I’ll ever forget this match and even more so the 11’ minutes into the second half of the extra time. The thrill that goal gave me is something I just can’t describe.
I had already scored such an important goal in Champions’ League two years ago against Barcelona but last night’s will remain unique: the whole stadium standing up and your scream accompaning the ball to the goal, my team mates’ embrace.. if I think about it it still thrills me!
It’s been an unforgettable night, as I was saying, but now we must concentrate on our work: we really don’t want this win to be an end in itself! On the contrary, it must stimulate us to keep on winning, in Champions’ League as well as in Serie A.
As far as I’m concerned, I have a certainty and a hope: the certainty is that I’m part of an exceptional club who will be able to fulfill great wishes, the hope is that of scoring a goal capable of thrilling me even more than the one I scored last Wednesday.. and why not in Istanbul on May, 25th.
I send you a hug and thank you for the support you gave us against Real: we also owe it to you if we won.
Marcelo Zalayeta
