The Super Eagles are aiming for their first away win against Rwanda in Friday’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier. Nigeria has struggled to beat the Amavubi in Kigali, with three previous meetings ending without a win.

The last time they faced Rwanda in a World Cup qualifier at the Amahoro Stadium was in 2004, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

In 2011, both teams played to a goalless draw in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the Stade Regional de Nyamirambo. Another goalless draw followed in September last year during a 2025 AFCON qualifying match at the Amahoro Stadium.

With three draws and one loss from their first four games, the Super Eagles are in fifth place in Group C with just three points. Rwanda, on the other hand, sits comfortably in second place with seven points. The Super Eagles need to break their winless streak to keep their World Cup hopes alive.

Barcelona’s director Deco has confirmed that French side PSG made an attempt to sign teenage star Lamine Yamal last season. The interest came after Yamal impressed on the international stage, playing a key role in Spain’s Euro triumph. PSG were quick to make a move, hoping to land the rising talent.

Speaking to RAC1, Deco said the reports about PSG’s approach were true, but made it clear that Barcelona had no plans to let Yamal go. “Yes, they asked last season. Not this one,” he said. “But we’re not listening to offers. PSG showed interest, but Real Madrid didn’t.”

Deco, a former Barcelona and Chelsea midfielder, added that the club has turned down every bid for the 17-year-old, who remains untouchable. Yamal has been a major part of Barcelona’s success this season, helping them secure the LaLiga title, Copa del Rey, and the Supercopa de España.

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has suggested that manager Ruben Amorim should adjust Bruno Fernandes’ position for the upcoming UEFA Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao on Wednesday. Scholes also recommended that Amorim start Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho, calling them the biggest goal threats for Man United alongside Fernandes.

In his TNT Sports column, Scholes wrote, “I would start Amad and Garnacho in the final because they pose the biggest attacking threat for Man United, along with Bruno Fernandes. “Moving Fernandes deeper into a central midfield role alongside Casemiro could be the key, especially since this setup has worked well in European matches before. I expect Amorim to start Hojlund too, as he has been decent in the Europa League.”

This season, Man United has lost all three matches against Tottenham, coached by Ange Postecoglou. Both teams have struggled in the Premier League and are currently placed in the lower half of the table. The winner of this final will secure a spot in next season’s Champions League.
