It was his maiden goal for Slavia, the Red-whites won 3-1 away at Nice and made a huge step towards the qualification for the knockout stage. Slavia finished second in the group behind Bayer Leverkusen and progressed to the quarter-finals eliminating Leicester City and Ranger FC.

“I will remember the goal for my entire life. Even today I sometimes watch the replay, I will probably never forget it. It has been the most beautiful strike in my career so far and it has enhanced my self-esteem in the following games. I am not afraid to shoot, and I believe I will score more similar goals,” Ondřej Lingr said.
