Onyedika Celebrates First Champions League Goal Against Man City
Nigerian midfielder Raphael Onyedika is overjoyed after scoring his first-ever UEFA Champions League goal, despite Club Brugge’s 3-1 loss to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
Onyedika, who has been a key player for the Belgian club, found the back of the net on Wednesday night, giving Brugge an early lead before City responded with three goals to secure the win.
Speaking about the moment, the Super Eagles star admitted it was a proud milestone in his career.
“I don’t know how to describe the feeling, but scoring my first Champions League goal at City’s stadium is incredible. I’m really proud,” he told Flashcore.com.
He also reflected on the match, acknowledging the team’s struggles after their opening goal.
“We knew it wouldn’t be easy, and after we scored, we became a bit careless. Once City equalized, they gained momentum, and our mistakes made it even tougher.”
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
