http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Taras-Burlak-c34663 shared his opinion after the recent win against Bilbao and expressed desire to play UEFA Europa League's round-of-16 against Manchester United.
Lokomotiv Moscow came from behind to seal a 2-1 UEFA Europa League win against Athletic Bilbao at Luzhniki stadium.
Lokomotiv were 1-0 down before half time. However, after a disappointing first half performance, the Railroaders managed to equalize through a well taken http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denis-Glushakov-c10855 penalty.
The equalizer helped them regain their confidence and they managed to score a late winner at home. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Felipe-Caicedo-c13525 scored his second goal of the ongoing European campaign.
In the aftermath of the outcome, Taras Burlak has expressed his delight upon the European win, revealing that they are the most likely team to reach the pre quarter-finals of Europa League after winning against a stern opposition.
He went on to admit that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/RSC-Anderlecht-c40394 are amongst the toughest teams he has played against in Europe and rated them above Athletic.
“Athletic are not an extra ordinary team. I think Anderlecht were stronger than them.
"We played better during the second half and deserved the win against them. We knew we can turn the table around after conceding an early goal.
"Now we are planning to repeat our virtuoso display for the return leg.” The former FC Volga Nizhny Novgorod player was quoted as saying.
Burlak lamented the missed opportunities during the crunch home tie and revealed that the Parovozy could have scored more than twice.
He urged his teammates to focus on the upcoming match to claim a similar result if they are to secure a round-of-16 tie against last year's Champions League finalists, Manchester United.
“We need to claim a good result in the upcoming match in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 before we think about playing against Manchester United. So, we all need to keep our focus.” Burlak said.
The winner between Athletic and Lokomotiv will take on either Man United or Ajax in the next round. Burlak revealed that he is excited for the forthcoming European match despite the fact that they need to win against the Spanish
outfit on aggregate.
