“I can’t believe it, it seems completely unreal. I’m just a regular lad from Leominster. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that I would ever play in the Premier League and win a European Cup gold medal. Or even that I’m going to be here talking to you like this,” continued a still-laughing Bowen. “I can’t describe how happy I am. Even my family was telling me to realize that I scored a goal in the last minute of the final. I expected that only I will have tears in my eyes, but even my brother cried. I don’t know what else should show how powerful a moment this is,” he added.
Not only Bowen’s closest friends, but also his teammates, did not hide their joy. Especially the representatives Tomáš Souček and Vladimír Coufal, who in Eden recalled their previous work in Slavia and won a prestigious trophy in their former home. Just as they had been planning for the whole season… “Everything was set up so that we could succeed,” said Bowen for the Czech pair’s more than favorable location for the final duel. that important to them.”
But the hero of the final did not forget about the fans, several tens of thousands of whom arrived in Prague, although the club only got less than five thousand tickets. “I saw on Instagram how many came, what it meant to them. When I scored the goal right in front of the stands with our supporters, I thought I was going to cry,” Bowen admitted candidly.
And it is he who will be the main character of the post-match celebrations, which will certainly stretch not only into the morning hours, but also into the following days. “This party is going to be crazy. It’s probably the first final I’ve ever played. You don’t experience such feelings very often,” he concluded.
