Grande Finale – RB Salzburg against Atlético de Madrid (Wednesday, from 9pm on LIVE ticker and on Sky)!
With a victory against the top Spanish club, the people of Mozart’s city could for the first time in history reach the knockout stages of the Champions League.
The chest is wide, the motivation high, the players in good shape. Currently, one of the greatest hopes is Mergim Berisha, who has become a top scorer and guarantor of success after the initial difficulties in Salzburg.
With four goals in the premier class, he is on the top scorers list ahead of greats like Robert Lewandowski, Lionel Messi (3 each) or Cristiano Ronaldo (2). A fifth goal was later deducted, against Atlético of all places, and it was counted as an own goal, not exactly to the delight of the 22-year-old German.
This is precisely why he still doesn’t see himself in the end. “It feels great, I’m very proud of my five goals (note: Berisha also leads her missed goal). I need my teammates for that too. I wouldn’t mind if they joined me tomorrow.” Feed the balls, I’ll be there for them and score a goal or two again. “
“It was not an easy time for me”
The player of the German U21 team did not always have it easy. Loans to LASK, Magdeburg and Altach did not always show him the greatest confidence in Salzburg, but that only spurred Berisha.
“It was definitely not an easy moment for me, but I made the most of it, I worked for myself and invested a lot in myself to be able to play the big games like tomorrow. It motivates me a lot, I’m in great shape. and I want to show it again against Atlético. I don’t want to talk about what it was a year ago when they yielded me, but what it is now ”.
In this context, it is important to train Jesse Marsch to highlight his protégé. “Megim’s determination was overwhelming. It wasn’t always easy for him, not even in the spring, but he always worked hard and waited for his chance. I’m glad he’s now such an important part of our success.”
The time has come for Berisha to defeat a top opponent
While it has been said time and again in recent years that the Europa League is Salzburg’s purview, this could now translate to the fact that the Champions League is apparently Berisha’s purview.
Success at the highest level makes your face smile. “It’s always good to show up in the top flight in football. I do it very well, I’m also happy and I’m happy to be able to help the team with that. I want to continue tomorrow.” His rise in a very short time from the loans, through Altach, to the main class makes him proud. “It shows my quality and the hard work I do every day.”
The attacker is aware that against Atlético it will not be easy at all. It takes a team effort and you have to put aside the little things, which were previously responsible for the fact that you could often keep up with the best opponents, but still not beat them.
“We have shown often enough in the group that we can keep up with such important opponents. Little things have been decided, we want to stop that now and definitely score three points.”
