Lazio midfielder Marco Parolo was proud of his goal in their Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich.

At 36 years and 51 days, Parolo became the third oldest player to score in the Champions League knockout rounds after Paolo Maldini (36 years and 333 days) and Ryan Giggs (37 years and 148 days).

“This goal is a personal reward and I'm happy with it. As a child I used to dream of scoring in the Champions League, so to get two in one season is quite an achievement," Parolo told Sky Italia.

“We have to learn from Bayern Munich's mentality, as despite winning the first leg 4-1 away, they were determined throughout, chased every ball and there was Thomas Muller giving instructions.

“In Italy, if we win a first leg 4-1, usually we see teams take their foot off the gas. What still irritates me is the first leg, as we made avoidable errors.

“We felt the sting of being in the Champions League knockouts for the first time and Bayern were just so comfortable with the situation."
