J.Iličičius: "The older I am, the better I play" © JumpStory

Bergamo "Atalanta" forward Josip Iličič stood out in the Champions League with an exceptional achievement. The 32-year-old Slovenian scored four goals against Valencia in the second leg of the match and etched his name in the history of the league - no athlete has ever achieved this feat at the decisive stage of the tournament. After the match, the veteran said: "The older I get, the better I play. I enjoy the football we play and want to continue doing so. It's a shame there were no fans in the stands, but we have to delight them with our game, even those watching from home. As I have said before, "Atalanta" has already lost its underdog label. For several years now, we have been competing excellently and our goal is to prove that we deserve to be here," - stated J.Iličič.
