Barcelona star Alexis Sanchez shrugs off 2-goal heroics in Champions League

Barcelona star Alexis Sanchez played down his heroics in their Champions League win at Bayer Leverkusen.

Despite scoring his first two Champions League goals, Sanchez, who joined from Udinese in the summer, played down his performance.

"I scored two goals, but a team-mate gave me the opportunity to do it," he told fcbarcelona.com. "I took advantage of the room they gave me.

"I always like to give more of myself in each game, but I still don't feel completely comfortable."
