UCL Roundup: Boniface, Tella benched as Leverkusen crumble against Bayern Munich

The hopes of Nigerian players featuring in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals took another hit on Wednesday as Bayer Leverkusen suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in their Round of 16 first-leg clash.

In a surprising decision, Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso left both Victor Boniface and Nathan Tella on the bench for 90 minutes.

The omission proved costly as Bayern, led by a brace from Harry Kane and a goal from Jamal Musiala, secured a commanding advantage ahead of the second leg.
