The Ghanaian looks back on fining the back of the net for the first time in La Liga against the Whites on Saturday
Levante striker Emmanuel Boateng is excited about his goal against Real Madrid in the Spanish topflight on Saturday.
The 21-year-old, who joined the La Liga outfit from Portuguese side Moreirense last August, broke his goal duck against none other than Los Blancos when he struck in the 43rd minute to level the score at 1-1.
In the end, it was spoils shared at Estadio Ciudad de Valencia as the two sides settled for a 2-2 draw.
“I feel very good because the calls and the messages I’m having from Ghana has really made me happy, and I’m proud of myself,” Boateng said in a video interview released by his club.
“I thank God for how far he has brought me because it is not easy to score against a big team like Real Madrid, so I’m really happy.
“I think when I came [to Spain], I had some difficulties because it’s really difficult to adapt when you first come to La Liga because it’s one of the biggest leagues in the world. So always, the coach talks to me anytime.
“I’m a player who doesn’t like to complain a lot. If I play or I don’t play, I just keep working hard.
“Now I think I’m used to how they play, so I’m really happy and I hope I get the chance to take part in the games.”
From Ghana, Boateng initially joined Portuguese Rio Ave in 2013, before joining Moreirense in 2015.
Yet to be capped by Ghana at senior level, the attacker was a member of the Black Satellites side at the 2015 Fifa Under-20 World Cup in New Zealand.

Some are thinking it's Boateng from Bayern who is saying that. But in fact it's his brother

Why do I always see a Barca fan talking crap about Real Madrid ? Like if you seriously think your club is better you don’t have to put us down? Or unless you actually think we’re better.
This is exactly the same vice versa. Don't think you are too special here. Your friends (rm fans) always comment sh*t on barça.

Amazing game from Luis Morales. Horrible game from Real Madrid once again. Modric and Benzema the only bright spots.

Modric was the only player who showed up, he was immense. Carvajal and Ronaldo were awful.

Up until now, I ignored everyone who said PSG were going to romp Madrid. I mean, its still Madrid. But the way they are playing....it's either a goal from a cross or a lucky bounce. Thats it. PSG are clear favourites this time.

All the attention will be on Madrid, but credit to Levante for not parking the bus even in the dying minutes. They were throwing men forward and attacking to the very end.

Real usually steps up in the CL so they just might, and they know it's their only realistic chance to win silverware.

Man, Real are facing PSG in less than two weeks and it's really hard not to see PSG run a train on them at this point.

Javi Martinez is a better CB than Ramos ATM and should start for Spain. Even Nacho is better ffs

To add to this, Casemiro is a huge problem. He doesn't stay back anymore. Every corner he's in the box, anytime the ball bounces out of the box, he's there pushing forward for a strike at it, he doesn't defend anymore. His biggest strength last year was reading the game and putting out fires, but now it's attack 24/7.

Ramos being in the same Line with Asensio (so like, just 10 meters in front of where he should actually be) when Pazzini got the ball before he scored and then complaining to everyone around was the best way to describe our defense Peak banter.

I watched the first half which RM played like a winner and scored a goal, I was like "fuck, I came to see the train wreck, but why they played so well ... " Turned off my TV, a few hours later found this on Reddit, fucking 2-2, WHAT HAPPENED???

so far Real Madrid have poor defence lost confidence in Madrid defence and also striking force. Real need to step out of the comfort zone and work hard so that we can win UEFA.

Of course it wasn't easy to score against Real Madrid when our World Class goalkepper Carvajal is playing.

Really Boateng? or are you being sarcastic? Recent defensive form of Real Madrid says something else 😉 ✌
