  "account": "VfB Stuttgart's Deniz Undav expressed relief after scoring his first goal of the season during a UEFA Champions League match. The 30-year-old striker's goal came in the 29th minute of the match against Slovan Bratislava, resulting in a 3-0 victory for Stuttgart. Undav told DAZN, \"Of course it’s liberating. It’s always nice to score after a dry spell of seven or eight games. That feels good.\" This marks a new record for Undav, as he now holds the highest total goal involvements (12) in the European competition, with 12 goals and 8 assists since the start of the 2025/26 season. Despite this personal milestone, Undav emphasized the importance of the team's win, stating, \"The win is even more important. I’m a team player more than anything else.\" He also praised the team's performance, saying, \"We had a lot of good periods and were able to play a lot of precise balls into forward positions, just as we’d planned. We deserve the win. We also weathered the storm when Bratislava were creating chances. I’m all the more pleased that we managed to keep another clean sheet.\"",
