On Wednesday, 18 October 2019, Liverpool's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain made a triumphant return to the Champions League with two goals in a 4-1 victory against Belgian club Racing Genk.
It was a momentous occasion for the 26-year-old England international midfielder, who had been sidelined for 18 months after suffering a serious knee injury against Roma.
His return to the Champions League was a special one, as he powered Juergen Klopp's side to their first group stage win on the road for two years.
"I've definitely missed it. It's a special tournament to play in, a competition we all grew up wanting to play in one day," Oxlade-Chamberlain told BT Sport.
He added, "It was nice to be back out there (after) seeing the boys do so well last year. I was fortunate enough to get back involved on the bench for the big day in the final and watch them bring it home."
With his side set to host Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday, Oxlade-Chamberlain said they would look to return to winning ways after a 1-1 draw at Manchester United last weekend ended their 100% record in the competition.
