Metalist Kharkiv midfielder Diego Souza revealed his dream to play in the Champions League after the Ukrainians won the first leg of the qualifier against PAOK.

The Brazilian helped his side to a comfortable 2-0 victory in the Champions League qualifying round.

“Since I joined Metalist, it is clear that my dream is to play in the Champions League and helping my team to beat PAOK especially away will give us confidence for the next game,” he told reporters.

“Our team has performed very well and took advantage of the smaller spaces, now it is up to us to win at home.”

Souza joined Metalist earlier this month after the club agreed a €4 million fee with former club Cruzeiro.

He started his career at Fluminense, and has also played for Benfica, Flamengo, Grêmio, Palmeiras, Atlético Mineiro, Vasco and Al-Ittihad before joining Cruzeiro.
