Manchester United fullback Patrice Evra has revealed why he was so emotional after his goal at Champions League opponents Bayern Munich.
Evra hit a stunner in United's eventual defeat and admits a visit to the Munich memorial for the Busby Babes was his inspiration.
He told MUTV: "It was an emotional day, the day before the game. Everyone had been to the Munich memorial, where the plane had crashed with the Busby Babes. It was amazing. I was talking with a young player like Adnan Januzaj and telling him, 'These people were like us, they were on a plane going to play a football game.' And at the end they never see their families again.
"I always pray before games, I pray every day - to save my family, I even sometimes pray for my enemy. But I asked, 'Can I give something for the Busby Babes'. I didn't say a goal, but just to make sure we played for them in that game.
"That's why when I scored that goal, you can see I was really emotional, I was angry. I couldn't believe it. That's my little secret - and now everyone knows that secret. In the end we went out of the competition and that is why I was really disappointed, but it was a special moment for me."
