CSKA Moscow winger Ahmed Musa has told MTNFootball.com he is looking forward to his team’s UEFA Champions League clash next week Tuesday against Real Madrid, who parade his idol Cristiano Ronaldo.

A year and half after he finished top scorer of the Nigeria Premier League, Musa will now do battle with mighty Real Madrid in a Champions League round of 16 game.

Ahmed Musa, who has been outstanding since he teamed up with the Russian army team, has promised a great match and hopes to do his best to see that Real Madrid taste the bitter pill of defeat as he is relishes playing against Ronaldo.

“It is going to be a spectacular game. I have come face-to-face with top players but facing Ronaldo will be massive because he is a player who I have been compared to, I want to come face to face with him on the pitch,” Musa told MTNFootball.com

“I like playing against top opposition and I have never flopped whenever I play such a match. I recall playing against Ajax and Feyenoord, I did well. Even when I was at JUTH FC, I did well against Kano Pillars and Heartland.

“I am therefore looking forward to the UEFA Champions League game against Real Madrid, I am sure I will do well.

He added: “It will be my first-ever UEFA Champions League game and I want it to be a memorable one.”

Musa has scored a goal for CSKA Moscow in four appearances since his winter transfer from Dutch club VVV Venlo.
