The Premier League is not just about the football on the pitch; it's also about the millions of fans worldwide who passionately support their favourite clubs.

…says even in defeat, Eagles’ wings remain unbroken.

Ahmed Musa, who joined other Nigerian players to show support for Iwobi, has begged the fans to desist from cyberbullying, noting that it was not the Fulham player’s fault that they lost.

The President, who received the players at the Council Chamber, Presidential Villa, Abuja, made the pronouncement to the players, as well as the officials of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

“A disappointing and frustrating end,” Nwabali stated in a post moments after the heartbreak on his Instagram account.

Sanwo-Olu, speaking in a series of tweets via his X account on Monday, urged the Super Eagles to rebuild and go again.

It appears the shock and tension of the game was too much for some fans, as at least five people have been reported dead while watching the encounter.

Chukwueze, who came in as a sub in Nigeria's win against South Africa on Wednesday, believes that the team still has a lot to do and should only focus on the finals for now.
