Former Super Falcons player, Asisat Oshoala has predicted a convincing win for Real Madrid over Benfica in their upcoming UEFA Champions League knockout play-off.

Benfica secured a 4-2 win over Real Madrid in the final group stage match, a result that prevented Los Blancos from advancing directly to the Round of 16, while the Portuguese side earned a spot in the play-offs.

The first leg of the knockout tie is scheduled for Tuesday in Portugal, with José Mourinho’s squad hosting the match.

Ahead of the game, Oshoala shared her prediction on X, stating in Nigerian Pidgin: “The way Madrid go flog Benfica tomorrow ehn.”

The comment reflects her belief that Real Madrid will overturn the deficit despite Benfica’s recent group stage victory.

The second leg of the tie will take place next week at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid.

Oshoala, a former Super Falcons striker and multiple African Women’s Player of the Year, is widely regarded for her insights into European football, particularly when it involves top clubs in the Champions League.

Real Madrid will aim to capitalize on their home advantage in the second leg to secure aggregate progression to the Round of 16.

Benfica, meanwhile, will look to defend their lead and leverage their attacking form from the group stages.

The tie promises to be closely watched by football fans, as both sides aim to advance in Europe’s premier club competition.
