JOTA has branded his free-kick strike against Real Madrid as "one of the best moments of my life".
The Celtic winger climbed off the bench to fire home a consolation strike for Ange Postecoglou's side at the Santiago Bernabeu.
While the game was well over when Jota found the top corner with a stunning free-kick, the winger has named the moment as one of the best in his career to date.
The Celtic star was visibly emotional as he celebrated in front of Celtic supporters after the superb finish.
And Jota has revealed his family were in the stands to see the goal that he's dreamed of scoring since he was a boy.
JOTA! BRILLIANT! 🔥
