Brentford striker Neal Maupay has opened up about his previous spell at the club.

The French forward, who has also played for Brighton and Everton in the Premier League, is back with the Bees.

Maupay still remembers his iconic goal celebration in 2018 for Brentford against Leeds United at Elland Road.

“I never plan a celebration," he told club media.

“I could've just gone and celebrated with our fans – they were right by the goal – but I remember the atmosphere was so good that day and I wanted to celebrate in front of the Leeds supporters.

“I like the feeling when you see the ball go into the net and then you have shots of adrenaline through your body.

“It's like your body is numb and you can't feel anything; you just react. Everything that goes through your head, you just do it."

Maupay continues: “If I played in an empty stadium, I would be the same on the pitch. Giving everything all of the time is just me.

“So, I've got that fire in me, but if you pour fuel on the fire, that drives me even more.

“There have been games when a fan or a player has said something, and I've thought, 'Just wait. Just wait until we score. Just wait until we win.' That's something that really motivates me.

“I hate losing more than I love winning. I can't lose. If you add an edge – it could be a fan, an opposition player or a referee – I can't give up. I'm ready to do anything on the pitch to get a goal and a win.

“Now I'm back at Brentford, I want to have fun and make more memories; that's what will last for the rest of my life."
