UCL: No Nigerian left as Real Madrid clinch last quarter-final spot

Nigeria’s hopes in this season’s UEFA Champions League came to an end on Wednesday night as Raphael Onyedika, the last Super Eagles star remaining in the competition, bowed out with Club Brugge.

After Victor Boniface and Nathan Tella were eliminated on Tuesday, Onyedika faced an uphill battle with his Belgian side, needing to overturn a 3-1 first-leg deficit against Aston Villa.

However, Unai Emery’s men proved too strong, securing a dominant 3-0 victory at Villa Park to advance to their first European Cup quarter-final since 1982.
