Super Eagles forward Samuel Chukwueze has vowed to keep improving after his sensational display, which earned Villarreal a famous victory over Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Chukwueze having the best season of his career
Chukwueze put in a man-of-the-match performance, scoring a brace against the LaLiga giants to bring his total tally for this season to 13 goals and 11 assists in 40 appearances for the Yellow Submarine in all competitions.
Despite the impressive numbers, his most productive in a single European campaign, the 23-year-old forward believes that he can still get better and hopes to improve on his performances in the future.
Chukwueze was unplayable against Real Madrid, giving a reminder of how devastating he can be as a forward when tasked with making the difference in the final third.
He scored two stunning goals against Los Blancos in their own stadium including a late winner that left his teammates in awe at the quality of the strike.
