Shchetinin Says He’s Sad He Didn’t Get to Play Against Osimhen in Match Against Super Eagles
Russia’s Mikhail Shchetinin has expressed disappointment over Victor Osimhen’s absence during their international friendly clash with Nigeria on Friday night. The Super Eagles played out a 1-1 draw against Russia at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, but Osimhen, one of Nigeria’s key strikers, was not part of the squad.
Speaking after the match, Shchetinin admitted he had been looking forward to going up against the Napoli forward, who recently wrapped up a loan spell at Galatasaray. “It’s a bit of a letdown that some of their top players didn’t come,” he told Championat. “I really wanted to see Osimhen. It would’ve been an exciting challenge.”
He also praised the Nigerian team, mentioning Victor Boniface among the players who impressed him during the encounter. Sources say Osimhen was left out of the squad by coach Eric Chelle as the striker is currently focused on settling his next club move after his loan deal in Turkey ended.
Captain of the Morocco national team, Achraf Hakimi, has shared his thoughts on the controversial topic surrounding AFCON 2025.
It can be noted that the team was accused of taking towels belonging to opposition goalkeepers during matches, which sparked criticism from fans and observers, with many calling for consequences.
Hakimi expressed his disappointment over the situation, stating “I don’t feel proud about the image we gave off with the towels. Even though that happened, the team did well in the competition. We showed respect for our opponents in the tournament.”
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
