Victor Boniface Hopes To Help Bayer Leverkusen Win Bundesliga Title On Sunday
Super Eagles of Nigeria striker, Victor Boniface has stressed that he is looking forward to winning an historic German Bundesliga title with Bayer Leverkusen this weekend.
If Victor Boniface and his teammates beat Werder Bremen at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 14, they will be crowned champions of the German Bundesliga for the first time in the history of the club.
Note that Bayer Leverkusen are currently leading the league table with 76 points in 28 games, 16 points above second-placed Bayern Munich. After their game against Werder Bremen on Sunday, they will have 5 games left before the end of the season.
Those five games have the potential of producing 15 points which means that Bayern Munich have no possibility of overtaking Bayer Leverkusen after this weekend’s game.
However, if Bayer Leverkusen lose to Werder Bremen on Sunday, and Bayern Munich beat Köln today, April 13, the race will remain mathematically open for coach Thomas Tuchel and his team for a while.
Ahead of the game against Bremen, Victor Boniface noted that he is looking forward to helping his team win the German Bundesliga title on Sunday.
The 23-year-old Nigeria international said, “I am looking forward to helping my team any time I am called upon.
“We have a game on Sunday (against Werder Bremen), which is a big game for us.”
Note that Victor Boniface who was sidelined for about three months due to an injury helped Bayer Leverkusen to maintain their unprecedented unbeaten run in all competitions. He scored a goal in Bayer Leverkusen’s 2-1 win over West Ham United in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday.
After the win, Boniface said, “We played West Ham in pre-season, and so we know the type of game they play.
“The important thing was to be patient, play our style, and convert our chances when they came.”
Super Eagles and Chippa United goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, has been dealt a devastating blow, losing his mother barely two months after the passing of his father.
Nwabali shared the heartbreaking news on X on New Year’s day, writing, “Rip mom, worst year of my life already” accompanied by tears and heartbreak emojis.
This emotional post came just hours after he shared a 2024 recap video, expressing optimism for the new year.
“2024 was a good year, we’re doubling everything in 2025. Thank you Chippa United FC. Thank you Super Eagles. Thanks to all my fans. Let’s do more!” he had written earlier.
Nwabali’s father died in November, just hours after the goalkeeper helped the Super Eagles secure a crucial point in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Benin Republic.
The goalkeeper’s bravery on the field was evident as he manned the goalpost despite his personal loss.
His teammates, fans, and well-wishers rallied around him, offering condolences and support.
With the loss of both parents, Nwabali joins the likes of Victor Osimhen, who has also experienced the pain of losing both parents.
Real Madrid forward, Kylian Mbappé, shared a rare glimpse of his personal life during an interview with Mouloud Achour on Clique.
The 25-year-old addressed serious allegations about an alleged rape incident in Stockholm but captured attention with his reflections on love and relationships.
When asked about expressing love, the Les Bleus forward shared: “Yes, to my mother, my father, my little brother. I try to give them this affection every day.”
On romantic love, Mbappé revealed to Le Parisien: “Yes, in the past, I have already been in love and I hope that I will be again. But currently, no.”
