Richarlison has admitted that he couldn't help but smile after hearing the Champions League anthem ahead of Tottenham's 2-0 win over Marseille. Dreaming of playing in the famous competition for a number of years, the attacker's long-held ambition finally came true on Wednesday evening.
Not only did the player get to realise his dream at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, he was also the hero on the night after netting two late headers to secure all three points in their first Group D clash. A very emotional evening for the Spurs player as he could be seen crying when embracing his father at the end of the game, the player opened up on his Champions League experience when speaking after the win.
"After hearing the anthem, I started to smile, it was my dream as a kid," admitted the 25-year-old. "Being there, listening to the anthem, playing the match, I got very emotional and I was rewarded after scoring these two goals with the help of my friends.
