Sparta Prague’s talented striker, Victor Olatunji, came into the limelight after a brilliant performance in a UEFA Champions League match.
In his first ever game in Europe’s highest level club football competition, the Nigerian forward scored and assisted, making him the first Nigerian to ever do so in the Uefa Champions League, as reported by Sportsbuddy.
Victor Olatunji Eyes Super Eagles Call-Up
Although he performs well at the club level, Olatunji has no call-up to the Nigerian national team, the Super Eagles.
The 25-year-old revealed during an interview that he was aiming to represent his country at the international level in the near future, as he also praised Odion Ighalo.
Paying Tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo
During the interview, Olatunji also addressed his iconic celebration, which mimics Cristiano Ronaldo’s famous gesture.
When asked if Ronaldo had reached out to him, Olatunji told Isports.blesk: “I’ve never met him, and he hasn’t written to me. Unfortunately, he’s no longer in the Champions League, but with this celebration, I’m reminding him of his legacy in the competition.”
With six goals in fifteen games for Sparta Prague, Olatunji will be hoping to add to his tally when they play against Stuttgart in the Champions League.
