The Spanish midfielder Altimira experienced a special moment last Wednesday when he made his Champions League debut. The young Sporting CP player was a starter in the lions' victory over Galatasaray 3-1, in the first matchday of the prestigious competition.
The 20-year-old player revealed that this moment had a special meaning for him, recalling his childhood. «I remember when I was little and watched the games on television with my father», said Altimira, showing the emotion he felt when fulfilling a childhood dream.
The Spaniard's performance did not go unnoticed, being one of the positive highlights of Ruben Amorim's team in this European match. The victory over Turkish side Galatasaray represented a good start to the campaign for Sporting in the Champions League.
