Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana is fulfilling a childhood dream by finally playing in the Champions League.
The 26-year-old is in line for his second start on Wednesday having played for just over an hour in the Reds' late 2-1 victory over Bulgarian side Ludogorets at Anfield last month.
The £25m summer signing missed the start of the season with a knee injury and is now looking for more game time in the Group B match in Basel to get up to speed with his team-mates.
"I've always dreamt about playing in this competition as a kid," said the £25million summer signing from Southampton.
"I feel I am more or less there on fitness. I knew it was going to be tough, I am just delighted to be back playing for such a fantastic club.
"I think it gives you more game opportunities to get up to speed, to knit with the group and your new team-mates.
"It is obviously a tough competition and there is no easy game but, to take the positives out of it, it is another game."
Watch Basel v Liverpool on Sky Sports 5HD from 7pm.
