Nigerian striker Victor Olatunji was the standout player in Sparta Prague’s dominant 3-0 victory over RB Salzburg in the UEFA Champions League. Olatunji not only scored Sparta’s second goal just before halftime but also provided an assist for the team’s third, sealing a perfect start to their campaign.
The 25-year-old made headlines beyond his on-field performance when he revealed a shirt bearing the viral message, “I’m a chosen, who are you?” after his goal. The phrase, which has been trending in Nigeria, originates from viral testimonies associated with the Lord’s Chosen Church and has sparked widespread conversation online.
Olatunji’s goal made him the first Nigerian to score in this season’s Champions League. He was substituted in the 64th minute to a rousing ovation from the crowd. Sparta Prague will face Stuttgart in their next Champions League match.
The celebration brought extra attention to the viral phrase, highlighting how football and cultural moments can intersect on a global stage.
