Some Super Eagles players were on parade across European leagues on Sunday with mixed results recorded.
In England, Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho had a miserable Sunday to forget as their hope of playing in the Champions League for a second time in 5 years was dealt a huge blow after they were trashed by relegation strugglers, Bournemouth 4-1.
In the Spanish La Liga, Eagles defender, Chidozie Awaziem was at his best and helped his club Leganes’ grinded out 1-0 home win against Valencia. It was their first win in as many games.
Super Eagles duo of Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho were in action as Leicester City suffered another big setback in their quest to secure a Champions League top-four finish after they were humiliated a 4-1 by Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.
Ndidi, who got on the referees book on 64th minute, played the entire duration of the game that saw them surrender their lead and conceded two goals in two minutes to make the night a dreadful nightmare for coach Brendan Rodgers.
The 23-year-old who has scored twice in 29 league appearances for the Foxes this season could not replicate his dazzling form.
His fellow club and national team mate was also in the linupe from start but he was substitutes at half time by Ryan Bennett.
