“When it’s Champions League night in Liverpool it’s crazy. It was a mixed feeling, Happy, scared. At Liverpool their fans are really close to the pitch so you could hear them like really shouting and you can’t even feel your eyes. I was so happy and at the same time scared. But after a while I felt good. When I was going to the pitch I asked myself is this the boy from Mamoobi Nima playing the Champions League.
