“I’ve waited a long time for this feeling”

“It was a great feeling, which I have waited a long time for,” said the 25-year-old, who made his first appearance of the season in Turkey after his muscle injury. “I’m relieved and also happy that I’ve finally made my competitive debut for Schalke.”

Skrzybski very nearly scored his first goal on his debut, but couldn’t beat Galatasaray keeper Fernando Muslera with his shot. Nevertheless, the striker will always remember his short debut, having been subbed on in the 77th minute. “The atmosphere was incredible”, he confirmed. The noise didn’t get to the team though. “We were strong at the back and had our chances to win the game, but unfortunately didn’t take our chances. Overall I think we need to be a bit more clinical.”
