Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred
Ndidi returned to Leicester City’s line-up for their UEFA Champions League
quarter-final first leg game and was in action for 90 minutes against Atletico
Madrid at the Estadio Vicente Calderón yesterday.
The Nigerian international was
rested in their Premier League game against Everton on Sunday but Super Eagles
forward Ahmed Musa was not listed for the match.
Antoine Griezmann scored a 28th
minute penalty goal for the Spanish side and there was no other goal by both
sides ahead of the second leg fixture next Tuesday.
Meanwhile, at the Allianz Arena,
Real Madrid defeated Bayern Munich 2-1.
Arturo Vidal scored Bayern’s goal
but Cristiano Ronaldo’s double ensured they hold a first leg advantage going
into the second leg.
Ronaldo’s brace took his tally in
European competitions to 100 goals, the first player in history to reach that
landmark.
