Willian Pacho Makes History with Touching Words in the Philippines
William Pacho, a 23-year-old defender for both Paris Saint-Germain and Ecuador, talked to CONMEBOL media regarding their Champions League victory over Inter Milan last Saturday (5-0). This was an unprecedented achievement for Paris, securing their inaugural win in this prestigious tournament. It’s equally significant for the player himself since he becomes the first Ecuadorian athlete to claim the trophy.
Pacho said, "I'm glad to see how warmly I am welcomed here."
What's it like returning to Ecuador after clinching the Champions League title?
It has been amazing. Since I was young, I've always admired the top teams and star players because they set the standards. I used to compete against them on PlayStation too, which was about as near as I could get to playing with them (laughs).
Being the first person from Ecuador to win the Champions League brings me great pride. It's wonderful to experience how warmly I am welcomed here; I realize now just how significant this is to everyone. Before coming here, I had no idea it would mean as much as it does. However, upon arriving and seeing my family, they were moved to tears.
Pacho "I can tell this holds great significance for the nation."
It's clear how significant this is for the nation. I'm extremely delighted, immensely proud, and thoroughly satisfied. Being part of the national team now is always such a joy. One never knows when they might have another chance like this again.
