Nigerian international, Leon Balogun has set his sights on reaching the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
Currently with Philippe Clemente’s side, Balogun is preparing for the first leg of their third qualifying round against Dynamo Kiev, set to take place at Lublin Arena today.
Balogun revealed the personal importance of this achievement, stating, “Reaching the group stage is the biggest motivation. I have never played in the Champions League, and at this stage of my career, it would be one of my biggest achievements.”
“Everybody is very determined to put in a performance tomorrow. It has obviously been a quick turnaround, but it is a big occasion.”
Addressing the challenge posed by Dynamo Kiev, Leon Balogun assured, “They are a very good footballing side, but we have got quality. It is for us to worry about ourselves and make sure we diminish that as much as we can and try to play our football and be successful.”
