Galatasaray matchwinner Icardi on Man Utd surprise: I was angry

Galatasaray matchwinner Mauro Icardi admits he wouldn't have forgiven himself if he'd not scored last night at Manchester United.

Icardi hit the winner for the famous 3-2 Champions League triumph, having earlier missed a penalty.

He later confessed: "First of all, I was very angry with myself for missing the penalty, but then I was very pleased and happy with the team's play, the goal and the victory. I would also like to say that I was happy because I scored my first goal with Galatasaray in the groups.

"We are happy, I also said that we are very pleased with the current situation. But we must not forget that we only played 2 matches. Let's be aware of this. There are 4 more matches. There are difficult matches.

"Our goal is to get out of the group. In order to get out of the group, we need to continue this way and act with awareness of this."
