How I Paid ₦30 To Watch Champions League Matches — Boniface
Super Eagles and Bayer Leverkusen striker, Victor Boniface, has recounted how he used to pay a token of ₦30 as a young player to watch Champions League matches, and is now living his dream by playing in the same competition.
Boniface reflected on his journey in a post obtained from Fabrizio Romano’s X handle on Friday.
The forward recounted his early days in Akure, where he paid just 30 naira to watch Champions League matches at the 323 Army Barracks.
The striker was expressing his delight at playing in his first Champions League match during his team’s 4-0 victory against Feyenoord on Thursday.
The German club signed Boniface from Union SG to Bayer Leverkusen in 2023 in a deal worth over €21.7m.
He said: “From paying 30 naira to watch the Champions League… to playing my first Champions League game. Proud of this moment.”
