Former Leeds United defender Dominic Matteo has labelled the night he scored at the San Siro as one of his best footballing memories. Matteo scored the opener as Leeds held AC Milan to a 1-1 draw on their own turf and secure qualification the next round of the Champions League.
Matteo’s goal remains one of Leeds ’ most iconic in recent history, as supporters still sing about it to this day. The Whites eventually went on to reach the semi-finals of the competition that season, where they were defeated 3-0 by Valencia on aggregate.
The 47-year-old made 145 appearances during his time at Elland Road – with half of his four-goal tally for the club coming that season in the Champions League as he also found the net in the 6-0 win against Besiktas. Speaking on the GegenPod, Matteo detailed just how honoured he feels to have competed in matches of that calibre during his career.
