Lam Ka-wai hopes to conjure moment against PSG
Kitchee midfielder scored a memorable goal against Manchester United last year and is itching to do the same as local champs take on Parisians
Midfield powerhouse Lam Ka-wai is determined to produce another moment of magic when he leads Kitchee against Paris Saint-Germain in the "Meeting of Champions" at Hong Kong Stadium tonight.
The Hong Kong international stunned a star-studded Manchester United side at the same venue 12 months ago when he unleashed an unstoppable 25-metre left-foot drive in a 5-2 defeat.
And Lam, widely considered the best attacking midfielder in Hong Kong, is eager to repeat his feat against the reigning French champions.
"It's always great when you score against overseas teams, especially when the opponents are a world-class side," said the 29-year-old. "We have played a couple of Premier league sides in recent years, including Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United, and it will be another memorable experience against the Parisians.
"They are now one of the best sides in the world with the financial support from their new owner and we will treasure the opportunity of taking on players such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic."
Lam admitted there was a big gap between the Hong Kong champions and their French opponents, but exhibition matches can throw up unlikely performances and results.
"I'm sure Paris Saint-Germain will give their best to live up to their reputation, but still this is not like a competitive match for them.
