Leoni: “I said to myself: shoot!”

INTERVIEWS Théo Leoni, match winner against Sociedad, could hardly be more different after his magnificent goal that ultimately ensured victory. Although the crowd favorite does admit that at first it was not his intention to put the ball there.

“I said to myself: shoot! Better to bang into the stands than lose the ball and maybe create a dangerous counter. I did try to frame my shot, but I'm not going to claim I meant to put the ball there. It's just a matter of luck.”

“My family made the move to Spain, so it was fantastical that that goal fell. A great memory.”
