Real Madrid defender Jonathan Woodgate admits his heart was racing as he made his first ever appearance for the club in Tuesday night's friendly against an MLS allstar XI.
"I am very happy to have made my debut at the Santiago Bernabeu and to have been able to play alongside my teammates," said the England international.
"Yeah, I'm smiling. I can't stop! After all that has happened to me I'm just very happy to be playing again."
"I want to thank the fans for their reception. But also the doctors and physiotherapists who have helped me get through this. I will sleep well tonight."
"I had only two or three touches, but that doesn't matter. I now feel like a player again."
Woodgate is set to play again for Real tonight at 6:30pm.
