Rangers defender Leon Balogun has shared what he believes the Super Eagles need to do to win the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

Nigeria last lifted the AFCON trophy in 2013 and came close again in the last edition, finishing as runners-up in Côte d’Ivoire. As they prepare for the next tournament in Morocco, Balogun emphasized the importance of ambition, confidence, and a solid game plan.

Speaking to Flashscore, he stressed that every team enters the AFCON to win, and Nigeria must approach it the same way. He also noted that after their heartbreak in the last final, the Super Eagles have a point to prove.

“You have to go there with a lot of ambition, a lot of confidence, but also with a clear plan,” he said.

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has spoken on the controversial offside goal in Manchester City’s recent derby win over Manchester United and shared how Manchester United had actually benefited from a similar decision in the past.

“Three years ago, we lost the Derby at Old Trafford with a goal that had to be disallowed. No one apologised. We are still waiting for the apology, Sometimes it happens for you, sometimes against you. It’s football.”

The comments came after Manchester City’s 1–0 win over Manchester United, in which Erling Haaland’s goal was initially ruled offside before VAR overturned the decision. The refereeing body later acknowledged that the decision was incorrect.
