Super Eagles ace Samuel Chukwueze was impressive Wednesday night at Villarreal sent Juventus packing from the Champions league.
Although the Nigerian saw action for 25 minutes after coming in as late substitute in the 65th minute he nonetheless remained a busy bee as usual to the end of the encounter.
Three late goals from Gerard Moreno, Pau Torres and Arnaut Danjuma helped Villarreal knock Juventus out of the Champions League at the round of 16 stage. Villarreal progressed on a 1-4 aggregate.
The rivals drew 1-1 when they met in Spain in the first leg three weeks ago.
