Facundo Pellistri hopes to follow footsteps of three Champions League idols

"It's one of the best tournaments in the world," Facundo Pellistri said about the Champions League.

"The Barcelona games [in last season's Europa League play-off] were amazing and we are looking forward to those types of games in the Champions League. We are ready to play against everyone.

"The best ones who do that [entertain] are [Lionel] Messi, Neymar, [Cristiano] Ronaldo.

"The way they are on the wings. They get the ball and, every time, they create space for others by winning that one-v-one because football is 11 against 11.

"So, if everyone is with the man, it will be impossible. So someone has to make that dribble.

"So, yes, I really enjoy watching them because they make those things happen and make football what it is."

Pellistri will hope to get his first taste of Champions League football when Manchester United take on Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.

The winger came off the bench for the third time in the Premier League this term during Saturday's disappointing 3-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion.
