Girona’s Kayode Reflects on Missed Opportunity in Draw Against Atletico Madrid

Girona forward, Kayode Olanrewaju, expressed regret over a missed opportunity in Sunday’s 2-2 LaLiga draw against Atletico Madrid. Making a cameo appearance on his debut for Girona, the former Austria Wien striker came tantalizingly close to securing victory, only to see his header parried away by Atletico’s Jan Oblak in the 93rd minute.

Reflecting on the match, the Super Eagles striker shared his sentiments with Completesportsnigeria.com, saying, “I had a great debut but I was unlucky not to have scored.” Kayode’s transfer to the newly promoted La Liga side came as part of a season-long loan deal, subsequent to signing a four-year contract with English Premier League club Manchester City, for an undisclosed fee.

Looking ahead, Kayode expressed his aspiration to integrate seamlessly with his new team, fostering strong connections with fellow players to collectively contribute to the team’s success. He voiced his eagerness to make an impact when Girona faces Malaga in their upcoming LaLiga fixture at the Montilivi Stadium.

Anticipation surrounds Kayode’s inclusion in Nigeria’s squad for the crucial 2018 World Cup qualifier against Cameroon next month. As he continues to acclimate to his new surroundings and teammates, the forward’s potential impact on both club and country remains a subject of keen interest for football enthusiasts.
