Nigerian striker Victor Olatunji has taken the spotlight in Sparta Prague’s Champions League win over Salzburg, scoring a crucial goal and showing off a viral message that resonated far beyond the football pitch.
Sparta thrashed Salzburg 3-0 to get their Champions League campaign off to a flying start.
Olatunji doubled Sparta’s lead in the 42nd minute after Kaan Kairinen had opened the scoring in the 3rd minute.
As the home crowd erupted into cheers, Victor Olatunji raced to the corner flag, did the Siuuuu celebration, and later revealed the inscription, “I’m a chosen, who are you?” under his shirt.
The striker also got an assist in the match, which was his Champions League debut.
The goal and assist made Olatunji the 3rd African and 1st Nigerian to get a goal and assist on Champions League debut.
Recall the slang “I’m a chosen, who are you?” has been trending in Nigeria for the past few days following clips of some controversial testimonies from the Lord’s Chosen Church.
The church has, however, responded to online mockery surrounding some of the testimonies, emphasizing that the church does not fabricate testimonies.
