Lookman rues narrow offside in bittersweet La Liga debut

Ademola Lookman says his home La Liga debut for Atletico Madrid was bittersweet after a narrow offside call denied him a dream goal in a 1-0 defeat to Real Betis. The Super Eagles forward had arrived at the Metropolitano on a high following a standout performance in the Copa del Rey.​ Lookman thought he had equalised just before halftime when he rose to head the ball into the net, but the effort was ruled out for a marginal offside after a review. The decision proved costly as Atletico could not find a way back into the match.​ Despite receiving a yellow card in the 56th minute for a tactical foul, he remained one of Atletico’s brightest attacking outlets until he was substituted in the 74th minute. His movement and direct play repeatedly troubled the Betis defence, even as the hosts […]

Iwobi hopes Super Eagles still make 2026 World Cup

Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi says he is still hopeful that Nigeria will feature at the 2026 FIFA World Cup despite uncertainty over their qualification status.​ Speaking to Supersport Football, the Fulham star admitted the team is in a “waiting” situation as the country looks to FIFA for a possible lifeline after losing their playoff to the Democratic Republic of Congo.​ Iwobi was asked whether he would rather win the 2025 AFCON or qualify for the World Cup.

Age, eligibility rules blocked my Man United move — Mikel

Former Super Eagles and Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has revealed that strict age and eligibility regulations prevented him from joining Manchester United, despite the Premier League giants’ strong interest when he was a teenager. In an interview with Sky Sports, Mikel said he was just 16 when he spent about a month training at Old Trafford, regularly working with the United first team under Sir Alex Ferguson. The legendary manager, he recalled, was keen to keep him at the club. However, Premier League work‑permit and eligibility rules for non‑European players blocked the move. At the time, foreign players from outside Europe were required to have played in at least 75 per cent of their national team’s recent senior matches to qualify. Mikel had not yet featured for Nigeria’s senior side, so he did not meet the criteria. He added […]
