Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish admitted he had been "waiting a while" to play Champions League football.
Grealish, signed from Aston Villa in the summer, scored his first Champions League goal in the 6-3 win over RB Leipzig on Wednesday.
Asked about his debut, Grealish said: "I loved it. I've been waiting a while. The past few weeks, I couldn't wait for this game. It's a great night.
"It was one of those games. It had absoutely everything. In the end we're delighted to get the win against a good team full of energy and young players.
"I'm delighted to come away with the three points - and the goal and assist.
"The ball came to me and when I'm in that position, running into the area I'd back myself one on one against anyone to have a go and it paid off. I had a few in the first half that were blocked.
"I went to check the result from the other game [Club Bruges 1-1 PSG] and it shows anything can happen in the Champions League. It's why it's such a wonderful competition.
"With the music and everything [before the game] it was so nice."
