“I Knew He Would Score” – Carrick on Iheanacho’s First Goal at Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough manager Michael Carrick is confident that Kelechi Iheanacho will find the net more often after scoring his first goal for the club.
The Nigerian forward got off the mark in Boro’s 3-1 win over Oxford United at the Riverside Stadium, putting his side ahead in the 48th minute.
Carrick expressed his delight over Iheanacho’s impact, saying the striker’s confidence will only grow from here.
“He’s happy, and we’re all happy for him,” Carrick said. “Kel has played at a high level, and scoring goals always lifts a player. I was never worried—I knew he would score, and I’m sure there’s more to come. That goal was massive for us.”
Iheanacho joined Middlesbrough on loan from Sevilla in January and will be looking to build on this performance.

Football legend Thierry Henry has reacted to Lionel Messi’s emotional response after Argentina lost the 2026 FIFA World Cup final to Spain.
It can be recalled that Spain defeated Argentina to lift the 2026 World Cup trophy. While Spain celebrated their victory, cameras captured Messi in tears after the final whistle.
Henry said Messi’s reaction showed just how much the game still means to him.
“Look at what it means to him. If you ever had any doubt about whether the guy still has any fire in his belly, look at him. Look at what it means.”
He added “You won already. And look at the guy. Look at the passion, desire and the love that he has for his country and how much he puts into it.”
Football legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his prediction ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
While many have backed different teams to lift the trophy, Ferdinand said some fans have underestimated Argentina’s quality.
He said “I find it difficult to bet against Argentina. They have demonstrated remarkable character, determination, and resilience. I believe people have been somewhat disrespectful by calling them an average team; they are not.”
He continued “I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful. If you are saying that, you clearly do not watch enough football, as they are an excellent team, and in challenging situations, they become even better and stronger. However, I do believe Spain will win the match.”
