Manchester United starlet Anthony Elanga had no concerns he would be overawed against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.
The 19-year-old came off the bench to score the equalising goal in Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano.
"Think it was my first touch as well," Elanga told reporters. "I have dreamt of moments like this, scoring in the Champions League against top European teams like Atletico Madrid, a dream come true. It is only first half, we have to be ready for the second half at Old Trafford.
"I told you how calm and cool I am and whenever I am given a opportunity I want to repay the manager and give 150% everytime I step onto the pitch. I just do what I can do, I want to be the best player on the pitch and I appreciate the boss.
"You've got to stay in the game, anything can happen. We did not play the best in the first half, but improved after the substitutions in the second half.
"He (Ralf Rangnick) said to me to make the defenders scared and run in behind. When I get the opportunity to take it. I wanted a good result for the fans because they came a long way."
The second leg will be played at Old Trafford on March 15.
