Owen Hargreaves, the former Bayern Munich midfielder, has recently praised the Nigerian striker Victor Boniface for his remarkable skills during a UEFA Champions League match.
Victor Boniface made his debut in this prestigious tournament while playing for Bayer Leverkusen against Feyenoord. Although he didn’t score, his overall performance was impressive and drew attention.
The highlight of the match was a clever pass Boniface delivered leading up to Leverkusen’s second goal. Positioned in front of the box, he shaped as if to shoot with his right foot but instead used his left to execute a perfectly timed assist.

“Great work, proper, if he did that in training people would be going mad, but to do that in a game, that’s brilliant,” Hargreaves said on TNT Football.
“Some people think that he didn’t really mean that, but it’s honestly just a touch of class. Really really cool,” Owen Hargreaves said.
