Mixed feelings with Nathan Ake after his goal in the Champions League. It was his first goal in the CL, but soon after he lost his father. So it was an emotional evening for the player.

“The past few weeks have been the hardest of my life. My father was very ill and treatment was no longer possible. I was lucky enough to have a lot of support from my fiancé, family and friends," Ake begins his story on Instagram. "Yesterday I scored my first Champions League goal after a difficult time, just minutes after he passed away peacefully with my mother and brother by his side. It was meant to be. When he saw me play, he was always proud and happy. I know you're always with me.'

“You are forever in my heart. This one was for you, papa', Ake concludes his story, referring to his hit. Several football players react to the tragic statement of the defender. "He would be so proud of you brother," co-star Jack Grealish wrote on Instagram.

The English eventually won 6-2 against the Bundesliga club on Wednesday evening and Ake therefore provided the first goal of the spectacle and played the game out. He was happy on the Manchester City club channel after his first goal in the CL. "Last season I was close to my first goal a few times, but to score right now is fantastic on this podium. That's what you dream of as a little boy."
