Igor Akinfeev spoke about a series of missed goals in the Champions League.
The CSKA goalkeeper missed goals in 43 matches of the tournament in a row and in 11 years - from 2006 to 2017-conceded 85 goals.
– It was a shame for me to miss goals like those from Monaco in the last minute, when we were leading 1:0 at home. Moreover, nothing foreshadowed this goal. Somewhere inside I thought: when will it all end? Although I understood perfectly well that I could only change this on the field. But he couldn’t change 43 matches.
On the other hand, with Real there were already two clean sheets, and everyone began to praise: they say, I became only the fourth goalkeeper in the world who did not miss a goal against the royal club in both matches of a two-round rivalry. The company, by the way, is good - van der Sar, for example. But, as the years pass, the emotions subside. Now, probably, sometimes even with a smile I can remember the Champions League matches, when everything that was possible flew in. But then, yes, it was insulting, and that’s not the right word, ” said the CSKA goalkeeper.
