BTL Exclusive Interview with Matheus Magalhães

On the eve of his Champions League debut against Napoli, BTL co-creator Zach Lowy spoke to Braga goalkeeper Matheus Magalhães about:

-Growing up in Belo Horizonte and remembering his roots:

"We all know that every kid who is born in Brazil wants to become a footballer but I have to also give credit to my parents for what they did for me and my brother. Many times they wouldn't buy things for themselves in order to give us the best conditions to become footballers...I remember my mom, dad, brother and myself living in a garage together that just had one bed, all packed together in a garage, so I value this because they are things that make us remember.

It's important to not lose our essence, our humility, even if you're a footballer or a lawyer you can't lose that faith that essence of knowing where we came from...I just have to thank God for everything he's done in my life, my parents' life and the life of my brother who is playing in China now but who has already played for Brazilian side Palmeiras and Croatian side Rijeka."
