Article inclusion

Is (a) required, optional or wrong here?

I am lucky I experienced such (a) feeling with these champions.

Thanks.

"such feeling" (or, generally, uncountable "feeling") usually refers to particular kinds of emotion or sensitivity expressed by someone else. For example, "She played the piece with such feeling". The implication in your sentence seems to be that it would be expressed by "these champions", but the preposition "with" then does not seem ideal.

AnonymousI see. Yes, I would like to emphasize my own emotion. If so, I understand that you prefer including the article, right?
If you are talking about your own feeling or emotion then include the article. "with" is OK.

Got it, thanks a lot!
GPY"with" is OK.
Is it now OK due to what I explained, which makes sense for its use?
