10 Super Eagles stars to score against Barcelona ranked: Osimhen 6th, Chukwueze 2nd

Several Super Eagles stars have found the back of the net against FC Barcelona despite the Catalan giants being one of European football’s most dominant forces for decades.

From La Liga to the Champions League and even pre-season showpieces, Nigerian players have repeatedly proven themselves capable of breaching the Blaugrana backline.

With Victor Osimhen’s Galatasaray set to face Barcelona in Tuesday’s Champions League clash, the prolific striker has an opportunity to improve on his current record against the five-time European champions.

Here are 10 Super Eagles stars ranked by their goalscoring exploits against Barcelona.

10. Super Eagles stars to score against Barcelona: Christopher Ohenhen

The largely unsung Compostela striker was a genuine force in La Liga during the 1990s, scoring 48 league goals across four top-flight seasons.

Ohenhen found the net against several of Spain’s biggest clubs, including Barcelona, during Compostela’s memorable run in the Primera División between 1994 and 1998.

9. Super Eagles stars to score against Barcelona: Ramon Azeez

The midfielder announced himself on the biggest stage when he headed home inside two minutes as newly promoted Granada stunned Barcelona 2-0 in September 2019.

With Lionel Messi starting on the bench, Azeez’s early strike set the tone for a famous victory that sent Granada to the top of La Liga.

8. Super Eagles stars to score against Barcelona: Akor Adams

The Sevilla forward put the finishing touch on a 4-1 demolition of Barcelona in La Liga in October 2025, tapping home from compatriot Chidera Ejuke’s assist deep in stoppage time.

The goal came just days after Adams received his maiden Super Eagles call-up, capping a momentous week for the striker.

7. Super Eagles stars to score against Barcelona: Kalu Uche

The former Almería hitman headed in an 85th-minute equaliser to earn a dramatic 2-2 draw against ten-man Barcelona in March 2008, denting the Catalans’ title hopes that season.

Uche spent four productive years with Almería, amassing 27 La Liga goals across his time in Andalusia.

6. Super Eagles stars to score against Barcelona: Victor Osimhen

Victor Osimhen scored a crucial equaliser for Napoli in their 1-1 Champions League last-16 first-leg draw against Barcelona in February 2024, rolling away from Iñigo Martínez before firing past Marc-André ter Stegen with his side’s only shot on target.

The 27-year-old also provided an assist for Napoli during a 4-2 Europa League defeat in 2022, taking his haul to a goal and an assist in four games against Barcelona.

The Galatasaray striker now has a chance to add to that tally when the two sides meet on Tuesday in Europe’s premier club competition.

5. Super Eagles stars to score against Barcelona: Ademola Lookman

Atlético Madrid forward Ademola Lookman been a Barcelona nightmare in 2026, scoring against them in the Copa del Rey semifinal first leg, a 4-0 rout at the Metropolitano in February, and then netting the decisive goal in the Champions League quarter-final second leg in May, sending Atlético through on aggregate despite a 2-1 loss on the night.

Two goals in two high-stakes knockout ties makes Lookman the man for the big occasion.

4. Super Eagles stars to score against Barcelona: George Ilenikhena

The young forward has made a habit of hurting Barcelona in the Champions League. He first scored against them during the 2023-24 group stage with Antwerp. He then netted the 71st-minute winner for Monaco in their 2-1 victory over Barcelona on Matchday 1 of the 2024-25 Champions League, becoming Monaco’s youngest scorer in the competition.

3. Super Eagles stars to score against Barcelona: Ahmed Musa

Musa announced himself at Leicester City with a stunning brace against Barcelona in the 2016 International Champions Cup in Stockholm.

The Nigerian forward came on at half-time with the Foxes trailing 3-0, outpaced three Barcelona defenders to score his first, then drilled home a second to make it 3-2 in what finished as a 4-2 defeat.

2. Super Eagles stars to score against Barcelona: Samuel Chukwueze

No active Nigerian player has tormented Barcelona quite like Chukwueze. The winger scored three goals across his five seasons at Villarreal against the Catalans, most memorably netting and assisting in a thrilling 4-4 draw in April 2019 that saw him run Jordi Alba ragged.

He added further strikes in April 2021 and November 2021, establishing himself as Barcelona’s most persistent Nigerian tormentor in La Liga history.

1. Super Eagles stars to score against Barcelona: Finidi George

The legendary winger tops the list thanks to his prolific record against Barcelona across eight seasons in Spanish football with Real Betis and RCD Mallorca.

His most iconic moment came in the 1997 Copa del Rey final, where he scored for Betis in a heartbreaking 3-2 extra-time defeat to the Catalans.

In total, Finidi registers three goals and two assists in nine appearances against Barcelona.

Finidi’s pace, trickery and finishing made him a consistent threat to Barcelona’s defence throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, cementing his place at the summit of this ranking.
