Undav breathes a sigh of relief after breaking his scoring drought with VfB Stuttgart

Deniz Ündav, the VfB Stuttgart forward, felt a great sense of relief after scoring his first goal of the season during the 3-0 victory over Slován Bratislava in the UEFA Champions League.

Undav said after the match with a smile: "Of course, it is a relieving feeling. It is always nice to score after a drought that lasted seven or eight matches. It feels great."

German striker opened the scoring for VfB Stuttgart in the 29th minute, paving the way for his team to secure another victory in the UEFA Champions League. The goal came in the team's eighth official match of the season, marking the first for Undav during the current campaign.

Undav has faced repeated criticism in recent weeks due to a decline in his scoring performance. He was also excluded by Germany national team coach Jürgen Klopp from the squad for the UEFA Nations League matches, despite the coach relying on an expanded list of players.
