The two goals were world class. The first was a cracking-goal. It takes a lot to curl the ball away from almost 7ft Courtios. He sent Nacho to Jalingo before scoring the second. They’re both worthy of the price.
All Chukwueze needs is accuracy in shooting. He has all the qualities to play for any big club. He’s a big-game-player too.
According to Marca.com, Real Madrid are willing to pay $50m for him. Vinicius on the left and Chukwueze on the right will be absolute madness. Defenders go chop grass taya!
Chukwueze’s curler from outside the 18-yard no doubt should not only be a contender for the goal of the week but a major contender for Puskas Award. The chap is a Joy to watch and has all the rudiments to flourish as a great player in a big club if-and-only-if, he puts his head down, perfect on his finishes and be more potent
