CSKA star Ahmed Musa
Emordi magic woos the fans
CSKA Moscow winger Ahmed Musa has
told MTNFootball.com his team could still shock out Real Madrid from the UEFA
Champions League after they forced the Spanish giants to a 1-1 draw at home.
Musa, who played 61 minutes of Tuesday’s Round of 16 game, said he was fulfilled making his UEFA Champions League debut, but hoped for a better performance and result in the second leg at the famous Bernabeu.
"I did my best in the game as a player, I was delighted to play in the Champions League for the first time in my career,” Musa told MTNFootball.com soon after the match in Moscow.
“It was a great game and a draw was not so bad as we can go to Spain to beat them in the return leg.”
Musa’s electrifying pace on the right flank caused Real some bother in the first half and the Nigeria international also had a chance to hit target.
“I thought my shot was going in at a point but (Iker) Casillas denied me. I believe he won't be that lucky in the second leg," said Musa, who had hoped to mark his debut with a goal.
The first yellow card of the game went to Xavi Alonso for a foul on the flying Nigeria winger.
Musa also disclosed that boyhood hero Ronaldo, who opened scoring for the visiting Spanish giants, acknowledged his talent and encouraged him.
"Ronaldo gave me a pat on my back, he said I did well and will go places."Musa told MTNFootball.com.
Musa was replaced in the 61st minute by Liberia International Sekou Oliseh, who also featured in the Nigerian league before he jetted out to Europe.
