Kevin Gameiro Admits Confidence Is High After Scoring Stunner in Europa League Win

Kevin Gameiro scored the only goal as Atletico Madrid beat FC Copenhagen 1-0 at the Wanda Metropolitano on Thursday night, helping them into the Europa League's last 16 - and a tie with Lokomotiv Moscow.

Gameiro seemed delighted after his seventh minute goal, and claims that it has improved his confidence in a season that has seen the Frenchman make only seven starts in the La Liga.

He said to Marca after the game: "I'm fine physically, so when you score goals you get more confidence and can do more things.

"I have not scored many goals from distance with the left foot, so it's nice for the team and for me.
