Nigerians were this week involved in the most glamorous club football competition in the world, the Uefa Champions League as match day two games were decided on Tuesday and Wednesday. It was a good night for Ahmed Musa but Efe Ambrose came unstuck with Celtic as FC Barcelona delivered a professional master class at Celtic Park.
Chinedu Obasi remains on the sidelines while Fanendo Adi’s tough-talking came to naught as Real Madrid handed FC København a 4-0 defeat at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
Michael Olaitan finally made his debut for Olympiacos and helped the Greeks win 3-0 in Belgium.
On a night of hugely contrasting fortunes for Nigerians, supersport.com now rounds up the best of the action.
