Couhaib Driouech shared his thoughts after the Champions League return match between Arsenal and PSV, which ended in a 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium. Following a heavy 1-7 defeat at home in the first leg, PSV was simply hoping to make a good impression in the return match. Moroccan international Ismail Saibari was absent for this match.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cIt was a special evening,\u201d Driouech told the Ziggo Sport camera. \u201cIt was my first start in the Champions League, and I scored a nice goal, so I\u2019m really happy. I learned today that I was starting, it was a great opportunity for me to show what I can do. Even though we were down 7-1 after the first leg, we had to give our best, and I think the team showed a good face on the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
The winger, who scored a magnificent lob, also reflected on that goal: \u201cIt was a beautiful goal. My family sent me a message right after; it\u2019s always nice. I\u2019m really pleased with that goal. Before each match, I think about possible scenarios, and I knew that if I was one-on-one with the goalkeeper, I would attempt a lob. That\u2019s exactly what I did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
Driouech also shared his teammates\u2019 reaction after his goal: \u201cI wanted to celebrate right away, but since we were already down 9-2, the guys pushed me towards the supporters and told me to celebrate with them.\u201d \n \n \n \n \n \n \n<\/p>\n\n
