This is exactly what happened to Dayot Upamecano following his official renewal with Bayern Munich until 2030, as he held an interview with Sky Germany. Among the many topics covered in this interview were his thoughts on the contract extension, Manuel Neuer, Vincent Kompany and more.
But there was a moment of sentimentality and nostalgia for Upamecano, too. Asked by Sky Sports what his most emotional moment at Bayern has been so far, the Frenchman was given the chance to think of a very special moment. But he went for a very standard answer instead.

First times are special, one supposes. Here is to hoping Upamecano will manage to one up this moment multiple times in his remaining years at Bayern.
