Bayer Leverkusen forward, Victor Boniface has revealed how Victor Osimhen prophecized his Bundesliga triumph since last season.
On Sunday, the Xabi Alonso-led team won their first-ever Bundesliga championship after they dismantled Werder Bremen 5-0 with Victor Boniface scoring the opening goal and also making an assist.
The striker, who only moved to the German side in the summer of 2023, was one of the team’s top goalscorers until he picked up an injury.
Meanwhile, Leverkusen had never won the Bundesliga before in their illustrious footballing history of almost 120 years.
However, barely 10 months after Boniface arrived at the club, he has helped them break the jinx just as Osimhen helped Napoli last season to their first Scudetto title in 33 years.
Osimhen, the reigning African Footballer of the Year, played a pivotal role in Napoli’s Serie A title triumph last season, scoring 26 goals to finish as the league’s top scorer.
It appears the 25-year-old had predicted Boniface’s success with Leverkusen just hours after won the league with Napoli.
Boniface revealed that Osimhen told him he was the next Nigerian player to win the league title and one year later his prediction manifested.
“Last year after Napoli won the league Victor Osimhen called me, baba say next year (2024) na your turn, say more celebration dey front. Respect baba,” Boniface wrote on his Insta-story.
