Super Eagles and Villarreal winger, Samuel Chukweze have given his fans something to cheers as he celebrated his team’s qualification to the UEFA Europa League final despite leaving the semifinal game with an unfortunate injury on Thursday night.
The Yellow Submarine was forced off the pitch in the 28th minute, in what looked like an hamstring injury.
Despite Chukwueze’s loss to injury, the Spanish La Liga who took a one goal advantage into the match with 2-1 first leg lead, were clinical in defence as it was a frustrating night for the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium as they failed to win, let alone score a goal in the barren draw.
After the game, a delightful Chukwueze did manage to celebrate the triumph despite the pains as his teammate gave him a piggyback so he could join his teammates in celebrating.
The Nigerian posted on his Instagram handle with emojis to express his feelings.
“To the finals ??, Can’t wait to be back soon ?????❤️. Thank you ? all for your messages ❤️❤️.”
It would be a tough task for Villarreal at the 41,000 capacity Gdansk Stadium (Stadion Energa) in Gdansk, Poland on May 26, as they battle Manchester United who after losing 3-2 to Roma qualified to the final on 8-5 aggregate.
